Bioinformatician | RNA-Seq & Differential Expression Expert | PhD in Plant Genomics & Pathogen Diagnostics

Profile Summary

PhD-level bioinformatician with extensive experience in RNA-Seq analysis, co-expression networks (WGCNA), differential expression, and pathogen diagnostics in plant systems. I’ve led transcriptomic and metabolomic research in citrus diseases (HLB), built pipelines for DEG and enrichment analysis, and validated biomarkers via qPCR. Experienced in R, Python, Cytoscape, and cloud platforms. I bring scientific rigor and interdisciplinary knowledge to every project.
