Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdwin Sutanto is a molecular data analyst and bioinformatician with nine years of experience applying genomic and population genetics methods to infectious disease surveillance, particularly Plasmodium vivax. He has led development of pipelines and public platforms (vivaxGEN series) and co-authored work published in Communications Biology and Nature Communications, translating complex assay design into field-ready targeted sequencing panels. Edwin combines hands-on skills across Illumina and Oxford Nanopore workflows, single-cell transcriptomics, and phylogenetics with a strong track record of capacity building and training in LMIC settings. His work spans research, tool development, and implementation—having trained public health labs in Indonesia and supported collaborative studies in Colombia and Ethiopia. Currently based in Darwin and pursuing a PhD, he brings both academic rigor from Melbourne/WEHI and practical impact from institute-level deployments. A less obvious strength is his aptitude for turning messy Sanger and microsatellite data into reproducible pipelines that scaled into community resources.

By modelling aneuploidy with interleaving branching processes we can make a decision about whether or not genome doubling occurred. We can also label each event as being pre or post GD.
