Anna Panchenko holds a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Computational Biology and Biophysics in the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences at Queen’s University. Her research couples physics-based modelling with large-scale sequence analysis to reveal how DNA and RNA variants re-shape protein structures, interaction networks, and chromatin architecture. Her laboratory has attracted more than $6M in Tri-Agency funding and she has supervised over 60 HQP who now occupy roles in academia, biotech, and health policy agencies. Within QuantOmics she contributes to Stream 2 (Genomics Signal Integration), teaching trainees to integrate quantum-sensor outputs with structural-omics data and to identify driver mutations for precision therapeutics.
