PhD in Biology with expertise in bioinformatics and genomics
What I'm looking for
As a seasoned bioinformatics expert with over 15 years of experience, I have developed a strong background in transcriptomics, genomics, and NGS data analysis. My expertise spans from implementing bioinformatics pipelines for single-cell RNA sequencing to differential gene expression. I am highly proficient in R and Python, with strong capabilities in using statistical tools for biological interpretation.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to work in fast-paced environments, delivering high-quality results within deadline-driven workflows. My experience in leading multidisciplinary teams and collaborating with cross-functional teams has enabled me to integrate genomic datasets and develop new projects.
I am fluent in both English and Spanish, with a strong ability to communicate complex information clearly. My excellent organizational skills and multitasking abilities ensure timely project delivery under pressure. I am adaptable, proactive, and focused on delivering results that exceed expectations.
