I'm a PhD student in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at Stellenbosch University in the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa. My research is centered on the integration of multi-omics data, with a focus on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) as a disease model. My work involves leveraging cutting-edge tools like Nextflow, R, and Python to unravel complex biological questions.
I’m passionate about the intersection of bioinformatics and computational biology, and my research interests are wide-ranging. Some examples are rare diseases, exploring multi-omics approaches, or addressing the reproducibility crisis in science. Basically, I’m always eager to learn and contribute.
Here are two of my recent projects that you might find interesting:
- Reproducibility crisis in Proteomics: This project tackles the reproducibility crisis in proteomics, providing scripts in both R and Python to search for available proteomics tools and compare them.
- RareInsight: A user-friendly dashboard, similar to ClinVar Miner, designed to facilitate rare disease research and data exploration.
- My PhD project (top secret)
I’m always open to collaborations that challenge me to grow and learn. If you’re working on something that aligns with my interests in rare diseases, multi-omics, or bioinformatics, or if you have a completely new area to explore, I’d love to connect!
