Research scientist with extensive experience in Next-Generation sequencing (NGS) data generation and analysis, in particular RNA-Seq, single-cell RNA-Seq, Spatial Transcriptomics and long-read sequencing.My background in medicine, immunology, population genetics and RNA processing analysis across a broad varieties of diseases and systems helps me to put results from high-throughput, high-content experiments in their relevant biological context and provide deeper insights into their functional significance.Research experience- Histopathology/ Transcriptional profile correlation in Spatial Transcriptomics- long-read single-cell RNA-Seq for isoform quantification and Immune repertoire characterization- Analysis of RNA processing in proliferating cells using RNA-Seq in primary cancer samples and proliferating T cells- RNA processing, splicing, genetic variation discovery- Genetic analysis of complex diseases (mainly autoimmune: diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis)- Population genetics (signatures of Evolution and Selection; linkage disequilibrium/ haplotype structure)- Mechanisms of T cell costimulation- Targeted therapies of sepsis and septic shock, cytokines- Orphan genetic diseases/ Personal genomics (http://www.mydaughtersdna.org)Specialties: "Next Gen" High throughput sequencing analysisPopulation genetics, SNP and Haplotype analysis, Autoimmunity, Diabetes, T cell costimulation, Genomic signatures of Evolution and Selection, Computational genetics, Spatial Transcriptomics
