Marlo Möller is a professor in the Division of Molecular Biology and Human Genetics, Stellenbosch University (SU) which houses the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) Centre for Tuberculosis (TB) Research. She is an Associate Member of the Centre for Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, SU and was seconded to the SAMRC Genomics Centre as Bioinformatics Head, playing a key role in establishing the Centre. Her primary research focus is on finding the human genetic underpinnings of TB and leverage the complex ancestry of South Africans to find novel genes and pathways involved. Her main strength is providing a uniquely African emphasis on the current highly computational field of genetics as it impacts human disease. Combining these interests with her insights into the latest genetic analyses available have allowed the work on genetic susceptibility to TB to benefit from population genetics analyses and next generation sequencing.
