Hi Students,
I am a Senior Data analyst. I hold a PhD degree in Biosciences from the University of Nottingham, UK. Through my PhD and work experience I acquired analytical and data management skills which allowed me to gain experience in analysing and managing large volumes of datasets.
Although my expertise lies in Life Sciences/Healthcare, the skills I gained are highly transferable and can be applied to other fields of study. For example, I am highly skilled in statistics, databases, data mining, manipulation, cleaning, visualisation, and processing. I have experience in developing code for data processing using Python/R and performing complex statistical analysis and inference (Hypothesis testing, Multivariate regression, Logistic Regression, Elastic-Net etc). I have worked on various projects that required complex analysis. For example, I focused on probing the evolution and heterogeneity of follicular lymphoma using single-cell RNA-seq. Various statistical approaches were applied to draw meaningful conclusions. I have published several papers on NGS analysis in a high impact factor journals. I have recently published a work in which I have co-designed and built a deep neural network-based tool for discovering the components of signalling pathways from genomic datasets.

Experience

  • Queen Mary University of London (Mar, 2019–Present) at Barts Cancer Institute, London
    I am a Bioinformatician at the Barts Cancer Institute in the Centre for Cancer Genomics and Computational Biology working on the development of pipelines for NGS data analysis, including mutational calling, Single-Cell RNA-seq, ChIP peak calling, variant annotation and prioritisation, as well as multi-layer data integration strategy and tools. The main purpose of the job is to provide informatics expertise and lead the informatics and computational components of on-going research activities and also support grant applications from the institute. I am responsible for implementing the existing in-house analytic pipelines and set up new methods / algorithms for cancer multi-omics data analysis.
