Bioinformatics Data Scientist | R & Biostatistics for Clinical & Genomic Research

Profile Summary

I help researchers and biotech companies bridge the gap between complex data and clear, actionable insights. With a unique background as a clinical professional (DMD) and a data scientist, I specialize in the end-to-end analysis of clinical and genomic datasets. My primary focus is on taking raw or processed data and managing the entire analytical pipeline, from hypothesis testing and statistical modeling to generating publication-ready figures and manuscripts. I have hands-on experience leading projects using large-scale public data like TCGA and GEO, as demonstrated in my recent preprint on a melanoma biomarker. Core Capabilities: Bioinformatics: RNA-Seq & Gene Expression Analysis, Biomarker Discovery & Validation Biostatistics: Survival Analysis (Kaplan-Meier, Cox Models), Longitudinal Data Analysis, Clinical Trial Statistics R Programming: Advanced scripting for reproducible analysis and high-quality data visualization (ggplot2, survminer). Healthcare Data: Analysis of clinical trial data, EHR, and real-world evidence (e.g., Medicare claims). Whether you need to analyze a genomic dataset, perform the statistical analysis for a manuscript, or visualize your findings, I bring a rare combination of deep technical skill and real-world domain expertise.
