About
Dr. Justin P. Whalley was educated in
the UK (M.Sci. Mathematics, University
of Bristol) and France (Ph.D.
Bioinformatics, University of Évry).
He moved to Spain to work as a postdoc
at the National Center for Genomic
Analysis (CNAG). During his time
there, he ran the Quality Control
working group for the Pan-Cancer
Analysis of Whole Genomes project to
assess the data coming in and reduce
batch effects. This involved
collaboration with researchers from
the Broad Institute of MIT and
Harvard, the German Cancer Research
Center and the Wellcome Sanger
Institute in the UK. He returned to
the UK to work as a [Senior
Bioinformatician at the University of
Oxford](https://www.well.ox.ac.uk/people/jpw/).
His time there coincided with the
global pandemic and he was deeply
involved in the COvid-19 Multi-omics
Blood ATlas (COMBAT) consortium as the
lead for the Integration (Tensor)
working group. Dr. Whalley became a
member of the [faculty of the Chicago
Medical School at Rosalind Franklin
University of Medicine and
Science](https://www.rosalindfranklin.edu/academics/faculty/justin-p-whalley/)
in January 2023.
