Freelance Expert in bioinformatics and machine learning for life science and precision medicine

Profile Summary

I lead precision medicine initiatives with expertise in bioinformatics, data science, machine learning, diagnostics, and business strategy. I have a strategic vision for advancing precision medicine. Led the formulation and execution of target and biomarker discovery strategies, implementing cutting-edge tools and services to deepen our understanding of diseases. Successfully applied data science and AI (xAI) in diverse bioinformatics projects, including target identification, biomarker discovery, and genomic medicine. Collaborated with business development teams to position them in the pharmaceutical industry. Possess a Ph.D. from Stockholm University and a Master's degree from the University of Bologna, with a robust background in bioinformatics and machine learning. Extensive experience in applying machine and deep learning algorithms, such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Convolutional Neural Networks, LSTM, Attention Mechanism, and Symbolic Regression. Developed computational models of genetic variants and employed transfer learning methods using high-throughput sequencing data. Additionally, serve as a key member of the Scientific Advisory Board (AI) at Genetoo, guiding and leading the AI department in optimizing laser parameters and enhancing the understanding of bacterial attachment and proliferation on various surfaces and materials.
