@thabosemenya
Bioinformatician specializing in bacterial genomics, NGS analysis, and pipeline development.
I am an analytical, research-driven bioinformatician with an MSc in Cell & Computational Biology and a specialization in bacterial genomics. I combine a strong molecular-biology foundation with advanced computational skills to turn sequencing data into actionable insights.
Over four years I have led whole genome sequencing and metagenomics projects, developing and optimizing reproducible Nextflow pipelines used across my research workflows. I am proficient in Python and experienced with Illumina, ONT, and PacBio sequencing platforms.
My work emphasizes data quality, rigorous protocols, and clear scientific communication; I have managed complex datasets, ensured compliance in research settings, and contributed to collaborative projects. I also bring teaching and community engagement experience from university assistantships and volunteer roles.
I pursue continual professional development in data science, clinical research data management, and bioinformatics, and I am committed to delivering robust computational solutions that advance bacterial genomics research.
