Profile

Julia did her BSc in Biomedical Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. She later did her MRes and PhD at the MRC Epidemiology unit, University of Cambridge, as part of the Wellcome Trust programme in Medical Science (Cardiovascular and Metabolic disease). During her PhD, her research focused on the use of broad-capture plasma proteomic technologies to develop risk prediction models for the incidence of a diverse range of diseases and for the identification of candidate causal targets. Julia joined PHURI as a postdoctoral researcher in computational genomics and multiomics in 2023, and has been a Lecturer in multiomics since 2025.

Julia’s research focuses on how integration of multiomics with electronic health records can be applied to improve targeted screening, diagnosis, prediction and prognostic strategies for a diverse range of both common and rare diseases.

Julia received the UK biobank researcher of the year award in 2023 for her work on proteomic prediction of >200 incident diseases developed through an international academia-industry collaboration with GSK.
