Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEnrico Gaffo is a Senior Bioinformatics Scientist and Assistant Professor at the University of Padova with 11 years of experience applying computational methods to transcriptomics and cancer genomics. He combines a PhD in Genetics with a strong computer science background (MSc and BSc) to develop HPC pipelines for RNA-seq, multi‑omics integration, and gene regulatory network inference. His work spans non‑coding and circular RNAs, machine learning for genomic data mining, and translational studies in myeloproliferative neoplasms. Comfortable bridging wet‑lab questions and scalable computation, he has a track record of research fellowships across Italian universities and a practical software development foundation from early Java work. Notably, he blends deep methodological rigor with hands‑on pipeline engineering, making him equally at home designing analyses and enabling reproducible large‑scale studies.
