Bio
Working full time with bioinformatics for over 13 years, I have had the opportunity to work mostly on: variant calling, bioinformatics pipeline development, and automation, gene expression analysis by RNA-Seq, prokaryotic genome assembly and annotation, angiogenesis, and machine learning.
Before joining Stanford as a postdoctoral scholar, I worked almost 5 years on a big clinical laboratory in Brazil named Diagnósticos da América (DASA), being responsible for the establishment and leadership of the bioinformatics department. My team was responsible for the validation/operation of multiple strategic products based NGS data as well as the bioinformatics support on selected research projects.
I am highly interested in biological questions that can be addressed by DNA sequencing, especially ideas that may be applied to impact a large number of people.
