What I'm looking for

I seek a research or bioinformatics role applying computational methods to clinical and omics datasets, within collaborative, ethics-driven teams supporting translational medicine.

I am a biomedical engineering graduate with hands-on experience in clinical research, field data collection, and omics-focused data analysis. I combine practical laboratory skills with foundational programming knowledge to support patient-centered studies and data-driven discoveries.

During my research roles I conducted hospital- and field-based data collection, supported consenting and blood sampling, and performed clinical dataset cleaning and validation while strictly maintaining data confidentiality. I recently completed a Data Analysis & Bioinformatics Bootcamp with Omics Hub, gaining practical experience in Python, microbiome data analysis, and collaborative workflows.

I work effectively in multidisciplinary teams with clinicians and laboratory scientists, and I aim to apply computational methods and biological data interpretation to advance precision medicine and drug discovery.
