Bioinformatics & ML Specialist | Expert in scRNA-seq, spatial omics with R and Python

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-level Computational Biologist with specialized expertise in single-cell analysis, spatial omics (CosMx, GeoMx), RNA-seq, and neurodegeneration biology. I have led multi-stage research projects involving QC, normalization, batch correction, differential expression, functional enrichment, trajectory analysis, eigengene modeling, and spatial microenvironment mapping. My skill set includes: 1. RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, snRNA-seq analysis 2. Spatial transcriptomics and proteomics (CosMx, GeoMx DSP, 10x) 3. Multi-omics integration (transcriptome + proteome) 4. ML/deep learning for biological data 5. Biomarker discovery and classification models 6.Scientific writing and figure creation I have worked on Alzheimer’s disease, senescence biology, inflammation, brain aging, oncology, and other complex biological systems. I deliver clean, reproducible, and publication-ready outputs, along with clear biological interpretation tailored to your project needs.
