Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBasilin Benson is a Bioinformatician II based in Bellevue, WA with eight years of experience translating large-scale omics data into actionable biological insight, specializing in bulk and single-cell RNA-seq. He has built and productionized preprocessing and downstream analysis pipelines (Snakemake, R packages) that improved lab efficiency and reproducibility, and has helped deliver two projects now in manuscript preparation. His technical toolkit spans RNA-seq preprocessing (FastQC, STAR, Picard, Subread), differential expression and network analyses (limma, WGCNA), and single-cell workflows with Seurat. He pairs hands-on coding and package development with clear scientific communication, routinely collaborating with wet-lab teams to integrate computational results into experiments. An early-career developer of a Python barcode-extraction tool and contributor to standardized pipelines, he combines academic rigor from a Master’s in Bioinformatics with practical lab-oriented impact.
