PhD in Computational Biology focusing on viruses,7 years lecturer of bioinformatics at Centre for Infection and Genomics

Profile Summary

I am Emilio Mastriani, and it is my pleasure to introduce myself to you. I got an MSc in computer science at the University of Catania (Italy) and a Ph.D. in computational biology at the Selinus University (Italy). Briefly, I worked last seven years at the HMU-UCCSM Centre for Infection and Genomics (Harbin Medical University) as a lecturer of bioinformatics. During that years, I gained more competencies in genetics, biology, and virology. I conducted researches on genomic breast cancer, ovarian cancer, salmonella virulence and differentiation, schizophrenia, SARS-CoV-2, and H. Andes virus. In my previous job in Italy, I worked as system administrator of a wide cluster (more than 2000CPU) based in Ubuntu and oriented to the HPC at the University of Catania. So, I can make scripting and develop computational models, both using machine learning or statistical learning. Currently, my list of published articles counts more than 40 manuscripts. I have enough confidence with bioinformatic pipelines, including Differential Cluster Analysis, Correlation Analysis, Gene Network and Ontological Analysis, Evolutionary Analysis, and Secondary/Tertiary protein Structure Prediction. I got the certification for "Mathematics for Machine Learning: Linear Algebra" by the Imperial College of London and I proficiently used the ML approach in my Ph.D. thesis (Unsupervised clustering approach to characterize the CpG Island distribution of the Andes Hantavirus). In addition, in most of my research projects (already published in some scientific journals), I frequently used R (as you can see by the list of my technical competencies), obtaining optimal results both for graphics and numeral correctness. I am sure that I will be the best choice to accomplish your project.
