Beschreibung

I hold a Master degree in Evoluionary Biology and a PhD in Computational Biology.

With approximately 10 years of experience in bioinformatic research, I can offer a sound knowledge of biology and the analysis of high-thoughput sequencing data.

In the past, I worked in both academic and industry research environments, and I got used to interdisciplinary, highly collaborative work.

I have a long term experience in the following:

- analysis and interpretation of various NGS data types (DNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, single cell RNA-seq)

- conceptualization and development of robust bioinformatics pipelines

- summary and visualisation of biological data

- design of experiments to validate computational predictions

Additionally, I have a solid understanding of machine learning methods, including code development for model training and validation.
