Profile Summary

I am a biochemist and data analyst with a PhD from the University of York, specialising in structural biology, cryo-electron microscopy, and genomic data analysis. I provide genomic data analysis and bioinformatics consulting through Genetase (genetase.com) for individuals, academic labs, and biotech companies, focusing on whole genome sequencing (WGS), whole exome sequencing (WES), and raw VCF file analysis. My work includes variant interpretation, rare variant discovery, VCF annotation, and bioinformatics pipeline development, with an emphasis on research-grade reanalysis beyond automated consumer genomics reports. I also support projects involving secure, GDPR-compliant genomic workflows and emerging API-based genomic analysis tools. My background combines experimental biochemistry, computational biology, and applied bioinformatics, including experience in technology transfer, market analysis, and early-stage biotech evaluation, enabling me to bridge scientific and translational aspects of genomic research.
