Freelance Bioinformatician & Data Analyst | Expert in R & SPSS

Profile Summary

I am an independent research consultant specializing in the bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic DNA and RNA-seq data. I have expertise in data analysis using R and SPSS, as well as manuscript preparation for peer-reviewed scientific journals. Previously, I worked as a bioinformatics research guest at the Department of Clinical Science, Karolinska Institutet (Sweden), contributing to a virome analysis project on pancreatic cancer. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Girona (Spain), a master’s in Clinical Research from the University of Barcelona, and a BSc in Biology from the University of Girona. My research has focused on cancer biomarkers, immune status, and the microbiome. I offer expertise in various data analysis techniques, including descriptive statistics, ANOVA, correlation, nonparametric tests, linear and generalized linear models, and multilevel models. Additionally, I can assist with preprocessing sequencing data, developing Linux scripts (bash), using specialized bioinformatics software, and designing laboratory experiments and research projects. My work has been published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal of Clinical Sciences, and PLOS ONE.
