Preferred role
Technical Expert
Collaboration profile
Specific skills / expertise
I bring expertise in high-performance computing (HPC), genomic data processing, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to support vaccine development research. My expertise enables the efficient processing and analysis of large-scale sequencing data generated from pathogen and genomic studies. This provides the computational infrastructure needed to support identification of vaccine targets, genomic analysis, and data-driven vaccine development. My role will complement biological and immunological expertise within the research team by providing the technical foundation for large-scale genomic R&D.
