I am a Molecular Geneticist and an
expert Molecular Biologists that has
formal training and extensive
experience in molecular cloning,
strain construction (both prokaryotic
and eukaryotic), DNA, RNA, and protein
purification and characterization. I
have a deep understanding of the
different processes associated with
protein/metabolites production and
strains engineering. I am a natural
troubleshooter that knows how to find
simple solutions to complex problems.
I am a natural engineer that
understands the intricacies associated
with molecular techniques. As a
consultant for Industry, I have
acquired extensive experience
designing industry-related experiments
and evaluating results. As a principal
investigator, I have been in charge of
an active research group and
maintained a complex interdisciplinary
active laboratory for many years,
oriented at both constructing strain
and performing detailed molecular
characterization at the DNA, RNA and
protein levels. I am naturally
meticulous and pay special attention
to details. This has the benefit of
being able to maintain consistency
throughout different experimental
protocols and to be able to detect
subtle experimental behaviors. This
academic foundation seamlessly merged
with my innate affinity for computers,
shaping me into a unique hybrid: a
Classical Geneticist and Molecular
Biologist with a profound mastery of
Computational Genomics and Data
Sciences at large. My expertise also
extends to developing intricate
bioinformatic pipelines tailored for
the human genome, characterized by
meticulous attention to detail. As a
natural engineer, my forte lies in
crafting algorithms that adeptly
convert intricate biological and
genomics data into digital formats,
facilitating their seamless
integration with Machine Learning and
Artificial Intelligence algorithms. I
excel at deciphering complexity,
translating innovative concepts into
reproducible, practical algorithms,
and scripting intricate tasks. My
proficiency encompasses not only
mastery of unix/linux operational
systems and their interaction with
other computers and Supercomputers,
but also my ability to deploy and
administer complex web-based
computational tools. I am proficient
at using version control systems, like
Git, using interfaces like github, and
gitlab. Moreover, my skill set also
includes comprehensive expertise in
diverse areas such as Next-Generation
Sequencing data analysis, Genome
Assembly, and Transcriptome Assembly
and Quantification. I have a proven
track record of overseeing the
successful implementation of advanced
Bioinformatics packages and software,
across a spectrum of computing
platforms. Recently, I have completed
an important Industry-related
Bioinformatics project aimed at
detecting how the expression of
Ribosomal proteins affect Human
protein production in large scale
fermentation processes. My commitment
to information sharing has endowed me
with substantial experience in
elucidating complex concepts to
individuals uninitiated in the fields
of Genomics and/or Data Sciences, a
skill honed over years of teaching and
developing teaching tools and
materials. My unwavering belief in the
primacy of teamwork is the cornerstone
of my professional ethos. Throughout
my career, I have championed
collaboration and nurtured
environments conducive to growth. As a
Principal Investigator, I have finely
tuned my leadership acumen by guiding
teams of both undergraduate and
graduate students, empowering them to
translate their research concepts into
well designed experiments, functional
code and rigorous testing and
verification. I firmly acknowledge
that the triumph of any venture hinges
upon the collective strength of the
team. In summary, I am a highly
imaginative professional with an
extensive interdisciplinary
background. My expertise spans
Genetics, the art of molecular
manipulation of organisms’ genomes. In
addition, I am also proficient in
translating complex algorithms into
code. My role as a Principal
Investigator has empowered me with the
capacity to adeptly oversee and mentor
teams of budding academics, aiding
them in translating their ideas into
functional deliverables. Moreover, my
immersion in the industry as a
consultant has sharpened my aptitude
for discerning priorities.
