Molecular Geneticist | NGS, Bioinformatics, ddPCR, R analysis, gene therapy, PCR, HSCT, T cells, VDJ

Profile Summary

I am a geneticist working on several research studies at UCL in collaboration with Great Ormond Street Hospital. My expertise is on Next Generation Sequencing techniques and data analysis, including identification of novel mutations, haplotype characterisation, indels and many more. Projects I am working on or involved in via my PhD students include TCR Sequencing and VDJ analysis on HSCT/thymus transplants/HIV clinical trials and COVID-19 as well as CRISPR editors NGS and analysis, NGS/ddPCR for mutations, indels, inversions, translocations in paediatric leukaemias.
