Work
I am a Computational Biologist / Bioinformatician specialized in NGS (Next-generation Sequencing) data analysis, HPC (High Performance Computing), and Cloud Computing. At present, I work for The Bioinformatics CRO as Senior Scientist and IT Director. Prior to that, I worked as a remote consultant for the The Institute of Cancer Research, London.
Over the past 5 years, working as a Senior Scientist and IT Director for The Bioinformatics CRO, I have been involved in a wide range of activities:
- Bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, WES, WGS, and mass spectrometry immunopeptidomics data analysis
- Antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) development
- Machine Learning (ML) projects
- NGS methods and pipelines development
- Variant annotation, interpretation, and data integration
- Managing the CRO’s Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud infrastructure
- Data management
- Maintenance of HPC clusters
- User management and onboarding
- Leading software development projects (web apps, GUIs, databases, in-house automation tools)
Previously, between 2013 and 2018, I have worked as a postdoctoral researcher and later as a remote consultant for the Genetic Susceptibility Team at the Division of Genetics & Epidemiology of The Institute of Cancer Research, London in collaboration with the Wellcome Center for Human Genetics, Oxford:
- I have participated in two translational research programmes; the Mainstreaming Cancer Genetics (MCG) programme and the Transforming Genetic Medicine Initiative (TGMI).
- The focus of my work was developing a standardised system for clinical variant annotation in cancer predisposition genes, improving quality control of NGS data and implementing automated NGS data processing pipelines.
- The tools I have developed had been used at The Royal Marsden Hospital, London for genetic testing of breast and ovarian cancer patients.
