Data visualisation and interpretation of data for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in a wastewater epidemiology-based study
- Generate interactive visualisations (e.g., heatmaps, phylogenetic trees, PCA plots) to represent microbial diversity, AMR gene distribution, and statistical trends.
- Conducting spatial data analysis to map AMR patterns across sample sources (human, animal, environmental) using GIS tools or R/Python libraries
- Established and optimised bioinformatics pipelines for metagenomic and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data analysis.
- Taxonomic profiling, functional annotation, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene prediction from metagenomic datasets.
- Identification and characterisation of AMR genes, virulence factors, and mobile genetic elements from bacterial whole-genome sequences.
- Lead wastewater analysis and in-sample collection, data collection (metadata and geospatial data) and in-depth analysis of 1,200+ wastewater samples, uncovering key contaminants, driving data-backed regulatory strategies that enhanced community health.
- Spearheaded training and skill development endeavors, providing mentorship to over 50 students from local and National level college students.
- Proficient in diagnostic analysis and instrument handling, including Conventional and RT-PCR, Gel electrophoresis, Automated DNA extraction machine, automated microbial culture analysis machine and ELISA machine.
- Coordinated cross-functional teams to streamline sample handling processes, achieving a significant increase in operational throughput while maintaining stringent quality control standards to meet state health regulations.
