Professor Claudia Langenberg

Profile

Claudia is the Director of PHURI and the former programme Leader at the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge.

Claudia is a public health specialist combining her expertise with research focused on molecular epidemiology. Her work integrates large-scale genomic and metabolomic data to discover, prioritise and characterize metabolic pathways and test their causal relevance and specificity across a range of diseases, uncovering genetic influences on thousands of molecules in the blood, using this knowledge to better understand human disease such as type 2 diabetes.

In 2018 Claudia received the Helmholtz International Fellow Award and was named in the top 20 female scientists in the UK in 2022.
