  • Custom pipelines in R and Python
Workflow from raw omics data to biological interpretation

From raw data to biological insight

We develop and apply analytical workflows that transform complex omics datasets into interpretable biological results. These analyses include preprocessing, quality control, integration, clustering, statistical testing, pathway enrichment, and the generation of publication-ready figures.

Particular attention is given to robustness, reproducibility, and the biological interpretation of results in the context of red blood cell disorders, inflammation, hematopoiesis, and sickle cell disease.

Technologies and data types

The platform is designed to support a wide range of datasets and analytical questions, including single-cell transcriptomics, bulk gene expression profiling, proteomics-oriented datasets, and integrative approaches that combine molecular and cellular measurements.

Our analyses are tailored to the needs of each project, from exploratory profiling to hypothesis-driven studies and translational applications.
