Nexomics and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre offer cutting edge cancer genomics screening, analysis for actionable clinical interpretation, and testing for early and late stage clinical trials. Their clinically targeted next generation sequencing panels and bioinformatics pipelines require clinical bioinformatic expertise within the Molecular Pathology laboratory.As their Lead Clinical Bioinformatician, I am responsible for establishing a bioinformatic resource within the laboratory to ensure Nexomics clinical genomic services meet or exceed global best-practice for design, performance, validation, quality control and scientific publication of clinical next generation sequencing assays such as targeted panels, whole genome sequencing and gene expression assays, across a range of analytes, sample types and tumour streams.

This exciting new position as a Senior Bioinformatician at Monash University is a great opportunity to help closing the gap between researchers and clinicians!For this role I am primarily based on the Monash Health Translation Precinct (MHTP) which is a partnership between Monash University, Monash Health (Victoria’s largest healthcare provider) and world-renowned researchers at the MIMR-PHI Institute of Medical Research.My main responsibility is to collaborate with the MHTP’s Medical Genomics Facility and its associated research groups in order to provide them with bioinformatics support from the experimental design phase through to publication. This primarily includes analysing next generation sequencing data, collecting and archiving the metadata for these experiments and creating workflow pipelines to facilitate data processing, storage, retrieval and access by internal and external scientists.To do so I am working closely with the Monash Bioinformatics Platform, a core facility that provides bioinformatics support to the University and affiliated organisations in partnership with research groups and facilities. It has a wide range of expertise in biological research fields requiring cutting edge computational techniques such as genomics, proteomics and structural biology.It is also the hub for a distributed network of bioinformaticians embedded across the University and a partner in technical training and infrastructure development.I am very proud to be part of the prestigious Monash University and in particular the MHTP which promotes cross-disciplinary interactions between medical researchers and clinicians, so that innovative discoveries in basic science in the fields of cancer, inflammatory and infectious diseases, neonatal and fetal physiology, endocrinology and reproductive health, can be readily translated in clinical practice!

I am currently working closely with the Melbourne Genomics Health Alliance to assist them in gathering and defining requirements for their ‘future state’, in particular regarding the analysis and curation tools for both germline and somatic genomic testing. The Melbourne Genomics Health Alliance brings together clinicians, scientists and bioinformaticians among Victoria’s leading hospitals and research organisations, with a vision to deliver genomic medicine into everyday healthcare.For this role I am working with a number of people and groups with expertise in clinical bioinformatics, molecular testing, business analysis and software development. I engage with stakeholders to review, prioritise, and identify dependencies and functional requirements. I am also supporting the work of the Alliance in the development of a framework to select the products for the ‘future state’ analysis and curation tools. This experience is a great opportunity for me to get a higher view and deeper understanding of the use of genomic and bioinformatics in a clinical setting.

My new role as a Senior Bioinformatician at QFAB will involve leading projects in genomics and transcriptomics from the experimental design phase all the way through to data processing and automatic reporting of results. The management of resources - financial, physical and human - will be a key skill for the succesful outcome of these projects. This new position will also let me engage and maintain strong relationships with my customers which has always been my main focus. In particular I will have the opportunity to build on my customer service skills by participating in Business Development activites such as consulting, networking and outreach. This Senior role will take me closer to my ultimate goal: Building the bridge between research and industry, to bring those amazing findings into the clinics and improve Human health & care in general.

Brisbane, Australia

As part of the QFAB team, I am managing and working on many genomics and transcriptomics research projects involving the analysis of various types of data such as expression data from microarrays and Next Generation Sequencing data. My role is to develop bioinformatics pipelines for their processing and interpretation using our High Performance Computing resources and my strong programming skills. My current position also involves project management and close interaction with our customers.

Coventry, United Kingdom

I was previously working within the Warwick Systems Biology Centre and Warwick HRI where I developed bioinformatics pipelines, databases and web tools for the analysis of microarray data and next generation sequencing data in order to understand switches in Streptomyces coelicolor metabolism (SYSMO project) and Arabidopsis thaliana responses to environmental stress (PRESTA project).This work involved a close interaction with biologists and statisticians as well as a collaboration with an external team for using their software (ONDEX) for text mining and metabolic pathway databases integration.

Nantes Area, France

My first professional experience as a Bioinformatician was part-time at INSERM and involved the analysis of DNA microarray data for customers of the microarray platform and the development of a web-based tool for interpretation of DNA microarray data. My other part-time position during this period was within the Service of Genetics of the Hospital of Nantes, and involved the development of an automated method for statistical analysis of CGH array data.
