Jessica Dafflon

I am a Machine Learning Researcher dedicated to advancing drug discovery through generative AI. 

With a multidisciplinary foundation in biology and neuroscience, I bridge the gap between complex biological systems and state-of-the-art modelling. My current research focuses on engineering LLM architectures that integrate ‘lab-in-the-loop’ feedback and extract deep biological insights from scientific literature. 

I bring a technical background in computer vision, natural language, and time-series analysis, and experience managing the full ML lifecycle (from theoretical conceptualization to distributed multi-GPU deployment and mentorship).

Currently, I am a working at Valence Labs in London. I love learning new tools and methods and applying them to real datasets.
