Bioinformatics Scientist & Computational Biologist | Cancer Genomics | Expert in Python, R, Bash, NGS, and Multi-omics

Profile Summary

I am a bioinformatics scientist with 7+ years of experience in cancer genomics, multi-omics data analysis, and pipeline development. During my PhD at the University of Kent, I developed reproducible workflows for whole-exome and transcriptomic data and built a large-scale cancer cell line database (RCCL, 1200+ samples). My research focuses on understanding drug resistance mechanisms using computational and machine learning approaches. I have strong expertise in Python, R, Bash, SQL, and workflow tools such as Snakemake and Docker. I specialise in analysing large-scale biological datasets and building scalable, reproducible pipelines. I am actively seeking opportunities in the UK in: • Bioinformatics Scientist roles • Postdoctoral Research roles • Data Science roles in life sciences Open to collaborations and industry or academic opportunities.
