Data Engineer: Genetics and Epidemiology
Sakshi joined The Generations Study research team in 2026 with Professor Montse Garcia-Closas after completing her MSc in Health Data Science at the University of Manchester. She contributes to the development and structuring of study-level metadata, supporting the effective organisation, and long-term usability of large-scale cohort data.
In parallel, she contributes to the Cancer Data Driven Detection (CD3) Programme at ICR, where she works on data harmonisation strategy across multiple cohorts and evaluating their comparability. Her work involves cleaning, transforming, and integrating complex, multi-source datasets, and developing scalable harmonisation pipelines aligned with FAIR data principles.
