Computational Biologist & Bioinformatics Consultant (Ph.D. Neuroscience) | Single-cell, Multi-omics, Image Analysis | R

Profile Summary

I am a computational biologist and bioinformatics scientist with expertise in RNA sequencing (bulk, single-cell, spatial, nuclei), proteomics, imaging, and multi-omics integration. I specialize in developing custom analysis pipelines, interactive applications, and machine learning workflows that accelerate drug discovery and reverse translation. With a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and experience across academia, biotech, and pharma, I’ve published 24 scientific papers (9 first-author) and developed VesselVio, an open-source vascular image analysis application featured in Cell Reports Methods. My work bridges discovery research and clinical development by delivering actionable insights from high-dimensional biological datasets. I offer end-to-end support: from experimental design and quality control to statistical analysis, visualization, and interactive tool development. Whether you need targeted analyses, custom workflow development, or strategic insights, I bring a track record of rigor, speed, and clarity.
