Bioinformatics Researcher | RNA-seq, NGS & Comparative Sequence Analysis

Profile Summary

I am a Clinical Biochemistry researcher and Bioinformatics Data Analyst with experience in molecular biology, gene expression analysis, cancer-related research, and computational analysis of biological sequence and omics data. I hold an MSc in Clinical Biochemistry and have hands-on experience in both wet-lab and computational biology, which allows me to understand experimental design, molecular mechanisms, and the biological interpretation of data. My main expertise includes RNA-seq and NGS data analysis, transcript-level expression analysis, differential gene expression, functional enrichment, comparative sequence analysis, motif/context analysis, and biomedical data visualization. I work with Python, R, Bioconductor, DESeq2, edgeR, ggplot2, pandas, Biopython, Galaxy, Logomaker, and bioinformatics resources such as NCBI, Ensembl, GEO, TCGA, GDC Portal, and genome/transcriptome annotation files. I have practical experience working with real biological datasets including FASTA files, GTF/GFF genome annotations, protein FASTA files, Salmon quantification outputs such as quant.sf, transcript and gene identifiers, and expression-level tables. I can build reproducible workflows for extracting sequence contexts, integrating expression data, generating nucleotide frequency profiles, creating publication-quality sequence logos, and comparing biological patterns across datasets or species. I am currently involved in a remote confidential bioinformatics research collaboration with a university research group, focused on comparative analysis of regulatory sequence contexts across multiple animal species. Due to confidentiality, detailed data, scripts, and results cannot be publicly shared. However, the project involves extracting sequence features from genome and annotation files, linking them with expression-level data, stratifying genes or transcripts based on biological parameters, and generating interpretable visual outputs for comparative analysis. My wet-lab background includes molecular biology and cell-based techniques such as cell culture, RT-qPCR, gene expression assessment, and cancer biology research. This helps me provide bioinformatics analyses that are not only computationally correct, but also biologically meaningful and suitable for academic interpretation. I can support researchers and academic teams with: • RNA-seq and NGS data analysis • Transcript and gene expression analysis • Differential gene expression analysis • FASTA, GTF/GFF, protein FASTA, and quant.sf data processing • Comparative sequence and motif/context analysis • Nucleotide frequency analysis and sequence logo generation • GO/KEGG pathway enrichment analysis • Biomedical statistics and visualization in R/Python • Publication-quality figures, tables, and reports • Literature review and manuscript support in molecular biology, cancer research, and bioinformatics My goal is to provide clear, reproducible, well-documented, and publication-ready analyses for researchers, clinicians, and academic groups working with molecular biology, genomics, transcriptomics, and biomedical datasets.
