Bioinformatician & Microbiologist | Targeted Resistome Mapping & High Throughput Sequencing Pipelines

Profile Summary

I am an Islamabad based microbiologist specializing in computational genomics, biostatistics, and pipeline automation for infectious disease research. My work bridges the gap between traditional benchtop microbiology and high dimensional dry-lab analysis. Holding an MPhil in Microbiology from Quaid-i-Azam University, my academic and freelance research focuses heavily on tracking the genomic drivers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), specifically within Escherichia coli pan genomes. I help research laboratories, biotechnology startups, and independent principal investigators transition from raw sequencing assets to publication-grade biological insights. Rather than relying on generic, rigid software wrappers, I write custom, reproducible code architectures tailored to the specific biological questions of each study. My core computational toolkit includes: • High-throughput transcriptomics pipelines (RNA-Seq data curation, translation efficiency modeling, and differential expression analysis). • Raw short-read sequence engineering (Automated quality control architectures, sliding-window adapter clipping, and de novo bacterial genome assembly evaluation using N50/L50 continuity metrics). • Statistical association mapping (Bacterial GWAS frameworks executing Chi Square engines to isolate causal point mutations against baseline evolutionary noise). • Machine learning diagnostics (Training parallelized Random Forest ensembles to accurately model complex genotype to phenotype resistance states). Whether you need to clean raw FASTQ files fresh from an Illumina run, map specific target-site mutations, or build robust predictive models for clinical surveillance registries, I deliver clean, open-source code scripts alongside journal ready data visualizations. I actively maintain open-source code architectures, automated pipelines, and full script documentation for my research models.
