Gene Therapy/Editing & Bioinformatics Researcher | Wet & Dry Lab Expert (Python/R)

Profile Summary

Gene Therapy Researcher & Bioinformatics Specialist | Wet & Dry Lab Expert Hybrid researcher bridging the gap between experimental Gene Therapy and Computational Biology. My core value lies in the ability to design complex Gene Editing strategies and personally analyze the resulting datasets using advanced bioinformatic pipelines. Key Expertise: Bioinformatics & Data Analysis: Proficient in Python and R for analyzing complex biological data (NGS, RNA-Seq, variant calling). Gene Editing & Therapy: Strong background in designing and validating Gene Editing tools and Lentiviral vectors for therapeutic applications. Integrated Workflow: Ability to manage projects from molecular design (in silico) to preclinical validation (in vivo/in vitro) and final data interpretation. I can assist you with: Bioinformatic analysis of sequencing data (NGS) using Python/R. Design and optimization of Gene Editing strategies (CRISPR/Cas systems). Data visualization and statistical analysis for biotech R&D. Experimental design for viral vector-based therapies.
