Bioinformatician with +10 years of experience in genomics and transcriptomics.

Profile Summary

I am a senior bioinformatician with over 10 years of experience delivering large-scale NGS analysis in ISO 13485, CAP, and CLIA-certified environments. My work spans whole genome, targeted exome, RNA-Seq, and single-cell data, with a proven ability to turn complex genomic datasets into actionable clinical and research insights. I combine deep technical expertise in variant calling (SNPs, CNVs, structural variants), differential expression, and pipeline optimization with a strong track record of high-impact scientific contributions, including publications in Nature and the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. I have led the analysis and quality control of tens of thousands of clinical exomes, consistently meeting strict turnaround and accuracy requirements. I am proficient in BWA, DeepVariant, FreeBayes, SnpEff, and GATK, and experienced in integrating these tools into efficient, scalable pipelines. My background also includes biostatistics, data visualization, and the application of machine learning to genomics for predictive modelling and classification tasks. I am the author of multiple highly cited publications, including "Evidence that the endometrial microbiota has an effect on implantation success or failure" (American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2016), "Genomics of the origin and evolution of Citrus" (Nature, 2018), "Optimizing clinical exome design and parallel gene-testing for recessive genetic conditions in preconception carrier screening" (Genetics in Medicine, 2019), and "The differential diagnoses of uterine leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas using DNA and RNA sequencing" (American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2019).
