- Experience in handling and analyzing NGS sequencing data - finding genetic variants, CNV, SNV, and Indel from Clinical exome, focused exome, and Whole-exome sequencing samples. Experience in defining innovative analysis strategies, from raw data to biological interpretation. Holding experience in NGS and microarray data analysis, single-cell data analysis, data management, pipeline management, annotation, and visualization.
- Skilled in with python libraries (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, TensorFlow, Matplotlib, Seaborn and Keras) and statistical tools such as PCA, clustering, and Regression analysis. and Shell scripting.
- Competent working in Linux environments and HPC/cloud computing.
My research and career interest lies in understanding the composition of the human genome for studies of genetic disease built around three themes:
1. Gene copy number and structural variation in the human genome.
2. Determining the genetic architecture in Pediatrics/Developmental disorders, metabolic and neurology disorders.
3. Developing bioinformatics infrastructure and pipeline workflow-analysis for clinical genomics data and translational genomics research.
