Cell expression heterogeneity impact on environmental response
Linking heterogeneity in gene expression within individual cells with whole organism phenotypes and adaptability.
Biography
I commenced my career in Bioinformatics in 2018 pursuing an MSc in Computing Sciences at the University of East Anglia, and following on to a PhD focused on marine metagenomics, changing direction from my initial BSc in English and American Literature.
I am currently working as a postdoctoral research scientist in the Hildebrand group at the Earlham Institute and Quadram Institute.
My research interests are in genome-resolved metagenomics for prokaryotes and eukaryotes, unsupervised machine learning methods for analysis of microbiome composition, and in exploring gene-level pangenome graph approaches and identification of structural variants in collections of metagenome-assembled genomes.
