I am a Bioinformatician and data analyst with experience from both, academia and industry. I am proficient in developing data management infrastructure, providing bioinformatics research data analysis solutions and training, coupled with assisting postdocs and principal investigators in writing research proposal of bioinformatics data science.

I started bioinformatics in 2006 with a 4 year BS degree in bioinformatics that was followed by master’s in bioinformatics. My PhD in systems biology was focused on OMICS data integration and the development of integrative and predictive approaches for integrated data-sets.

Previously in industry, I was providing bioinformatics support that range from a simple database or tool selection to complete data analysis pipeline development (NGS, bulk RNA seq, single-cell RNA, functional enrichment analysis, 16s and metagenomics). Besides this, I am also proficient in developing highly sophisticated and customized solutions based on data integration, machine/deep learning and NLP methods.

The strong bioinformatics background enabled me to apply different concepts from Artificial Intelligence (AI), Network Biology, Systems Biology, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to propose integrative, explorative and predictive approaches for biological data analysis.

Keywords : Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, machine learning, Network Biology, 16s analysis, bulk or single-cell RNA seq, text mining, and node/graph embedding.
