About
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioinformatics at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, UAE University. I specialize in multi-omics data integration, including transcriptomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics, with applications in cancer, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. I have strong expertise in NGS data analysis, R programming, Linux/UNIX environments, and high-performance computing. My research focuses on systems biology, network analysis, pharmacogenomics, and translational genomics, and I am actively developing skills in machine learning for genomic data analysis and predictive modelling.
