Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know before reaching out.

Cancer genomics, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, multi-omics integration, and reproducible NGS pipelines. I work with academic labs, biotech startups, and clinical teams.

Yes — I'm a freelance bioinformatics instructor with 6+ years of teaching experience. Workshops, one-on-one mentoring, and structured cohort-based courses.

R and Python primarily, with Bioconductor, Seurat, Scanpy, Nextflow, Snakemake, Docker, and AWS/HPC for orchestration and scale.

Most projects start with a free 30-minute consultation, followed by a scoped proposal. I support both fixed-scope deliverables and ongoing retainers.
