Profile Summary

I'm a research scientist (DipAppSci, BScHons, PhD). My expertise is in bioinformatics and data analysis. I've analysed genomic datasets in microbiology, molecular biology and ecology. I can help with the production of a range of research outputs. Track record: -- Over a decade of science from pipette to publication -- 15+ peer-reviewed journal publications -- Strong data analysis skills (e.g., multivariate stats, bioinformatics, microbiome and genomic data analysis, biostatistics, and R coding) Please get in touch if you need: -- Data analysis and visualisations -- Bioinformatic processing of genomic data -- Article and grant writing -- Preparation of lecture and communication collateral (e.g., presentations, slides, posters, extracts, abstracts and summaries) -- Experience primarily in fields of microbiology, marine science, biology and ecology
