Bioinformatics & aDNA Specialist | PhD in Molecular Biology | Expert in Snakemake Pipelines & Population Genetics

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained molecular biologist with over 6 years of postdoctoral experience in bioinformatics, specializing in ancient DNA (aDNA), population genetics, and pipeline development using Snakemake. My research integrates next-generation sequencing, damage-aware variant calling, and evolutionary analyses to investigate human and faunal genetics across time. I have expertise in developing reproducible workflows for SNP calling, allele frequency estimation, heterozygosity analysis, and allele age inference (using tools like BEAST, GATK, ANGSD, and mapDamage). I am currently leading a project on sedimentary aDNA from archaeological cave sites in Greece, reconstructing past human-environment interactions. I also have experience preparing scientific manuscripts, grant proposals (e.g., ERC Starting Grant), and performing in-depth analysis of genetic variants like MTHFR in evolutionary and clinical contexts. I offer freelance services in: Bioinformatics pipeline development Ancient and modern DNA analysis Scientific writing & data visualization SNP and genome-wide association analyses Let’s collaborate on your next genomics or data analysis project.
