Career and research
Alexandrov is known for developing the concept of mutational signatures together with Michael Stratton and colleagues at the Wellcome Sanger Institute.[6]
Alexandrov's research interests are in computational biology, cancer genomics, mutagenesis, ageing and bioinformatics.[1] Alexandrov is one of the co-leaders of the Mutographs of Cancer project, a £20 million Grand Challenge Project funded by Cancer Research UK "to fill in the missing gaps to identify the unknown cancer-causing factors and reveal how they lead to cancer."[7][8]
gollark: Enumerate all the different possibilities where you have X dice showing 3, work out the probability of each, then add them?
gollark: Just multiply the probabilities for getting side X on each die together?
gollark: You also are probably not running Haskell with its giant runtime on a microcontroller doing those things.
gollark: My friend likes Haskell but also spends time reading incomprehensible papers on logic and type theory and such.
gollark: Possibly. People *allegedly* use them for real world applications occasionally.
