ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and skilled bioinformatician with a strong track record in compiling and interpreting complex bioinformatics data. My proficiency extends to leveraging cutting-edge software, statistical analysis, and data mining techniques. I have primarily worked on projects involving R and R Studio, specializing in genomics and epigenomics.
Throughout my career, I have successfully executed whole genome sequencing of bacterial genomes, focusing on species identification, MLST typing, resistance gene detection, and plasmid replicon identification. My academic background includes a Master's in Biotechnology with a thesis on epigenetic cancer markers, and I have developed R scripts for various bioinformatics workflows, including Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and genome-wide association studies.
In addition to my technical skills, I am highly organized and diligent, with a systematic approach to handling specimens and conducting assessments. I am eager to contribute my expertise in bioinformatics to innovative projects that push the boundaries of genomic research.
