Hire Dr. Oliyad Jeilu O.

United States

Metagenomics & Microbiome Bioinformatics Expert | Scientific Editor | CAZyme & Multi-omics Analysis Specialist

Profile Summary

I am a postdoctoral researcher with a Ph.D. in Biotechnology, specializing in metagenomics, microbiome analysis, microbial ecology, and bioinformatics. My expertise spans the complete pipeline from experimental design and metagenomic data processing to advanced multi-omics integration and functional annotation . I offer: Microbiome & metagenome analysis (taxonomic profiling, functional annotation, MAG reconstruction, CAZyme discovery) Data visualization (publication-ready heatmaps, phylogenetic trees, diversity plots, and statistical analysis in R) Scientific editing – grammar, structure, and journal-specific formatting for manuscripts, grant proposals, and theses. With multiple publications in high-impact journals and experience collaborating with international research teams, I provide accurate, timely, and publication-ready results.
