Bio

I am a bioinformatics scientist with an extensive background in computer science, knowledge engineering, computational biology and biomedical informatics. In the course of my career I have been able to apply my technical and scientific skills to a large number of domains and problems, ranging from telemedicine to patient data security, from genomics and transcriptomics to association studies for complex diseases, from molecular genetics to population studies. I have developed a large number of databases, software tools, web-based resources, and computational methods, based on the concept that integrating diverse data from multiple sources and making them easily available to researchers can provide substantial benefits to the progress of scientific research. In my current position at the UF ICBR Bioinformatics Core I am mainly responsible for the analysis of NGS datasets using high-performance computing, in addition to providing consultation and expert advice on the use of computational methods in biomedical research.
