As Sr. Bioinformatics programmer I lead the bioinformatics data analyses for omics projects focused on the role of the immune system in MASH and atherosclerosis. I write and apply pipelines for the analysis of single-cell RNA-seq, single-nucleus RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, with a focus on understanding cell communication and gene regulatory networks underlying healthy and diseased states.SKILLS:Bioinformatics: wrote pipelines for the analysis of high-throughput sequencing experiments, including single-cell RNA-seq, single-nucleus RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, bulk RNA-seq, bulk ATAC-seq, ChiRP-seq, RIP-seq, microRNA-seq, proteomics, variant analysis in bulk RNA-seq, alternative transcript/isoform use in bulk RNA-seq.High Performance Computing: bash/ shell scripting, Unix/ Linux, SLURM job manager, parallel job processing.Software: routine use of software packages for omics analysis in R, bash and python. Statistical Analysis: linear models, generalized linear mixed models, dimensionality reduction, batch effect correction. Data Visualization: publication-ready visualization of complex, high-dimensional data.Core skills: collaborated with statisticians and wet-lab scientists, fast and independent learner, skilled at management of concurrent projects, analytical thinking and troubleshooting, excellent written and oral communication skills.
