Carla Cohen is a computational biologist interested in the cells of the musculoskeletal system. Her work is part of the Human Cell Atlas project, a global consortium which aims to map all cells in the healthy human body. Currently she is analysing transcriptomic data from musculoskeletal tissues including tendon, muscle, bone and capsule to create an ethnically diverse atlas of healthy cells in adult knee and hip. This work will produce an open-source comprehensive resource for researchers around the world and will provide a foundation for further studies on human disease.
Carla initially trained as a lab-based scientist and worked across various projects (and continents) in genetics, immunology and rheumatology. She later discovered a passion for coding and moved to a computational role where she enjoys the challenge of identifying patterns in multidimensional data. Carla is also a trainer in computational methods and actively participates in public engagement projects.
