My background is in Biological Sciences. I obtained my MSci at the University of Bristol. During my undergraduate degree, I became extremely interested in plant sciences and decided that I wanted to purse a PhD in plant/crop sciences.
Raquel is a part-time Biomedical Science PhD student and part-time bioinformatician. Her research is focused on cancer omics and data integration. For her PhD she is looking into intratumoral heterogeneity at phenotypic and genotypic level using NGS. She works with bash, python, R and Nextflow to develop her pipelines and uses high performance computing and version control system such as git. With the bioinformatics training unit she is developing new materials and working as a trainer to deliver the biostatistics and bioinformatics curriculum.
I’m generally interested in the application of formal methods (computer science, computational) on complex multi-scale (biological) systems and especially in systems where there are emergent phenomena.
Centre for Research Informatics Training System Administrator
Job Role
Paul manages the Centre for Research Informatics Training's IT infrastructure, adapting it to meet the increasingly demanding requirements for bioinformatics and computational biology training. His responsibilities include liaising with the trainers to ensure their technical requirements are met prior to a training course, and supporting them during a course to resolve any IT issues which may arise.
