Senior Bioinformatician at M42 · Emirati Genome Programme · Abu Dhabi
I build the bioinformatics that turns a nation's genomes into clinical answers: population-scale whole-genome sequencing, Nextflow pipelines on Kubernetes, rare-disease and population genomics.
PhD in Bioinformatics (UFMG, Brazil). Previously in Dublin, Belo Horizonte, Ribeirão Preto and the Netherlands.
