Giovanni Palla

I am a Research Scientist at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative AI/ML team, working with Theo Karaletsos.

I have completed my PhD under the supervision of Fabian Theis at the Computational Health Center, Helmholtz Munich and the Munich School for Data Science. Additionally, I am co-founder and core developer of scverse, an open-source ecosystem for single-cell data analysis.

I am interested in AI and Software for Computational Biology, endurance sports and books.
