01—About
Bioinformatician
With a strong background in bioinformatics and clinical research, I have developed a unique blend of skills in translating raw genomic data into clinically actionable findings. My experience in analyzing high-dimensional biological datasets and applying rigorous statistical frameworks has enabled me to make significant contributions to multi-modal biological inference. I am passionate about applying my expertise to drive innovation in the field of bioinformatics and clinical research.
02—Selected work
№ 01
Glioma Molecular Subtyping & Progression Gene Discovery
Curated and processed a high-dimensional gene expression matrix (1,000 patients × 1,000 genes) from GDC Portal, paired with clinical survival outcomes and molecular annotations.
Variational Autoencoder · Kaplan-Meier · Cox proportional hazards · Harrell's C-index
№ 02
Spatial Transcriptomics Domain Classification
Analyzed spatial transcriptomic data from mouse brain tissue samples to identify and classify spatial domains using Leiden clustering at multiple resolutions.
PCA · UMAP · Random Forest · SVM · Logistic Regression · Gradient Boosting
№ 03
Protein Conformational Analysis Pipeline
Architected a modular, end-to-end pipeline automating protein conformational analysis: PDB structure → GROMACS molecular dynamics simulation → trajectory processing → dimensionality reduction → visualization.
PyTorch · GROMACS · PCA · UMAP
03—Experience
Clinical Bioinformatician / ResearcherExogen Genetic Diagnostic Lab
Analyzed Whole-Exome Sequencing (WES) data for 500+ clinical somatic (tumor) and germline (inherited) cases, delivering variant interpretations that directly informed patient diagnostic and treatment decisions.
Clinical ResearcherDoctor Hemn Foundation
Built foundational clinical research skills — data extraction, cohort chart review, and medical literature synthesis — supporting cardiothoracic surgery research from design through manuscript preparation.
