Dr Natalie Andersson is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, in Professor Sam Behjati’s lab.

She is passionate about applying bioinformatics, including phylogenetic approaches, to explore how tumours change in time and space. Her research is focused on understanding the origin and development of the pediatric liver tumour hepatoblastoma.

Natalie studied physics and mathematics for 3.5 years before entering medical school at Lund University, Sweden. She graduated in 2021, which was followed by a 2 yearlong clinical training. In parallel to medical school and clinical training she pursued a PhD in cancer cell evolution in pediatric tumours. She defended the PhD in 2024. She explored how the tumours change and adapt over time, helping us understand why some tumours become resistant to treatment and how therapies could be improved. Currently she is working as a resident in clinical pathology at Lund university hospital, Sweden.

Dr Dabrowska is an Assistant Research Professor at the Department of Veterinary Medicine. Working within the Biomineral Research Group, her research focuses on the detection of trace metals in blood and understanding the impact of nanoparticles on human health.

She joined the University of Cambridge in 2019 as a Research Associate, working across the Departments of Physics and Veterinary Medicine. During that time, she contributed to the development of novel methods for detecting bacteria, with a particular emphasis on applications in low-resource settings. This work led to her being awarded a runner-up Cambridge Award for Research Impact and Engagement in 2025.

Prior to moving to Cambridge, Dr Dabrowska worked at the University of Southampton, participated in a transatlantic research expedition and taught at the Marine Biological Laboratory in the USA. Her research spanned a diverse range of projects, from developing anti-biofilm treatments for patients with cystic fibrosis to evaluating the environmental impact of deep-sea mining.

Dr Dabrowska is a Wellbeing Advocate, an alumna of the Aurora Leadership Programme, and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
