Profile Summary

Biomedical scientist and PhD researcher with expertise in next-generation sequencing (NGS), bioinformatics, and flow cytometry, specializing in cancer genomics and translational research. Currently pursuing a PhD in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Auckland, working on genomic and immune mechanisms in preterm infants. I have strong hands-on experience in whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) analysis, covering complete workflows from FASTQ quality control to variant annotation and biological interpretation. I am proficient with tools such as BWA, GATK HaplotypeCaller, HISAT2, DESeq2, SnpEff, and Ensembl VEP, and experienced in interpreting somatic and germline variants using ClinVar, COSMIC, CIViC, and OncoKB in line with ACMG guidelines. My background also includes flow cytometry panel design and analysis, qPCR, and molecular biology techniques. I have worked in both academic and biotech settings, led NGS projects, and delivered accurate, reproducible analyses and clear scientific reports for research and clinical applications.
