Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFranz-Arnold AKE is a bioinformatics-focused postdoctoral research scientist with nine years of experience developing and deploying computational pipelines for single-cell and bulk multi-omics, particularly in brain datasets from human and mouse. He developed SCALPEL, a Nextflow-based isoform quantification pipeline that outperformed peers and was part of work published in Nature Communications, and has hands-on experience across technologies including 10x, Drop-seq, Smart-seq3 and PacBio. His background spans academic and applied research roles at Stanford, IDIBELL, INRAE and EDF, combining end-to-end NGS analysis, benchmarking, and cross-lab collaborations. Fluent in R, Python and Bash, he mentors junior scientists and translates methodological advances into reproducible pipelines for complex transcriptomic questions, with a recurring focus on post-transcriptional regulation such as alternative polyadenylation. An interesting thread across his career is bridging environmental metagenomics and neural single-cell genomics, showing versatility in applying computational genomics to diverse biological systems.
