Being a Bioinformatics my work is to analyze data, annotate it and summarize the result using bioinformatics techniques. I can use computational approaches to extract information from chemical and biological measurements, enabling them to analyze and interpret the experimental data. Working as part of a team

I collaborate with Lab scientists, IT personnel, and executives. As a bioinformatician I'm able to do the following:

A. Provide bioinformatics expertise to molecular biology

1. Infer evolutionary relationships

2. Infer protein sequence, structure, and function

3. Annotate genomes

4. Develop gene networks

5. Develop metabolic networks

6. Apply principles of bio-analytical chemistry

7. Conduct systems biology analyses

8. Contribute to the identification of biomarkers

9. Contribute to bio-product development
