Minor in Chemistry
Use Python, R, SQL in Linux to support clinical and research project needs (see Collaborations/Publications). Provide statistical expertise and data visualization in Python and R.
Using Python, R, SQL in Linux to leverage clinical, pathological, ancillary, and genomic data to support diagnostic test development, research, and data reporting at Knights Diagnostic Laboratory. Wrote an internal package named SoaPy to clean and transform clinical, pathological, ancillary, and genomic data.
Worked as part of a Bioinformatics Team to develop and annotate microbial genome assemblies. Collaborated with scientists to provide genomic and bioinformatic analysis on microbial genomes and genes using Perl, Python and R. Updated a chemical dereplication workflow and collaborated in its development into an in-house web application. Developed and documented relevant scripts/pipelines for genomic/bioinformatic use in Jupyter and R Markdown.
Performed quality assurance and quality control to produce high-quality microbial products. Collaborated in research and development of microbial products. Developed a document and signature tracker using Microsoft Power Automate. Assisted in general lab operations and lab maintenance. Ensured the proper documentation of experiments, data, quality assurance and quality control documents.
Worked in a microbial BSL-2 laboratory to better understand Vibrio cholerae. Performed microbial analysis and co-culture experiments to understand predator-prey relations between protozoans and Vibrio variants. Developed a microbial genome assembly pipeline for microbial read datasets. Developed a bioinformatic tool for the identification of conserved and non-conserved genes in microbial genomes. Wrote a program to perform bulk microbial reference and SRA file downloads from the NCBI website.
