What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my bioinformatics, microbiome analysis, genomics, and molecular biology experience in research-focused roles involving sequencing data, computational analysis, and biological discovery.

I've analysed Bombus terrestris gut microbiome data at Universität Ulm, comparing Varroa-exposed and Varroa-free sites through 16S rRNA sequencing, diversity analysis, taxonomic profiling, and community comparisons.

For my master's thesis, I processed sequencing data in QIIME2, visualised phylogenetic trees with Dendroscope, and applied statistical analysis and visualisation in R. My biology background also includes conservation genomics, virology, microbiology, molecular biology, and CRISPR-Cas gene editing.

I've also worked on cancer-focused bioinformatics research involving the p53/BCL-xL fusion complex, using sequence alignment, molecular docking, protein-structure analysis, and BioPython-based annotation. Earlier laboratory work included flow cytometry, ELISA, bacterial isolation, and enzyme activity analysis.
