Clinical Microbiologist & Bioinformatician | End-to-End Bacterial RNA-Seq, Metagenomics & Data Visualization

Profile Summary

Bridging the gap between the laboratory bench and computational data analysis, I am a Clinical Microbiologist (MSc) and Computational Biologist specializing in high-throughput bacterial genomics. My unique dual-expertise allows me to understand the biological complexities of microbial systems—specifically bacterial biofilms and antimicrobial resistance (AMR)—while executing rigorous, end-to-end computational pipelines to extract actionable insights. As a published researcher and lead author in microbial biofilm dynamics, I bring deep domain knowledge to every dataset I analyze. I translate raw sequencing files into clean, reproducible workflows and publication-ready biological conclusions. Core Technical Expertise & Deliverables: Bacterial RNA-Seq Pipelines: Complete transcriptomic workflows from raw data to biological insight, including quality control, HISAT2/Salmon alignment, samtools processing, and robust differential gene expression (DGE) profiling using DESeq2. Metagenomics & WGS: Whole Genome Sequencing analysis, functional annotation, and taxonomic profiling of complex microbial communities. Advanced Data Visualization: Custom, high-resolution figures using R (ggplot2), including volcano plots, PCA plots, and hierarchical clustering heatmaps optimized for peer-reviewed journals or stakeholder presentations. Data Reproducibility: Production-grade, fully documented Bash and R scripts to ensure all analyses meet top-tier academic and industrial compliance standards. How I Add Value to Your Project: Whether you are an academic lab preparing a manuscript or a biotech firm accelerating antimicrobial research, you can hand over your raw sequencing data (FASTQ files or count matrices) with total confidence. I deliver fully executed computational pipelines, a comprehensive interpreted results report, and publication-ready visual assets tailored exactly to your milestones.
