Bioinformatician | Expert in omics | PhD Melbourne University

Profile Summary

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher based at WEHI, Melbourne (Australia). I am a bioinformatician with extensive experience in the analysis, visualisation and interpretation of multi-omics data both at bulk and single-cell level. I am a daily user of R, Bash and Python on HPC systems and I have also extensive experience in workflow managers (eg Snakemake) and Singularity. My academic background is on human functional genomics, evolutionary biology and immunology.
