As a computational biologist I have been involved in various projects seeking to answer different biological questions. Those projects have allowed me to define my main research interest, namely the study of the emergence, storage and modulation of information in biological systems assisted by computational methods.
During my research career I have acquired extensive experience in the analysis of sequence data at the DNA and protein level. I’m trained both in HTS bioinformatic protocols (ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, genome assembly) and fine detail sequence analysis. Most importantly, I have gained proficiency in the use of the statistical models that are at the basis of the quantitative analysis of low and high throughput sequence data and of the integration of multidimensional OMIC datasets. Additionally, my experience as a lecturer and instructor has taught me that training researchers about the formal basis of bioinformatic methodologies is the key for a successful collaboration between wet and dry lab. Likewise, by working within few international consortia I have acquire the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary groups and to coordinate younger researchers.
