Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHamdiye Uzuner is a bioinformatics scientist and PhD candidate based in Germany with five years’ experience building reproducible NGS analysis pipelines and uncertainty-aware tools. At University Hospital Essen she developed Orthanq, a framework for haplotype quantification applied to HLA typing and viral lineage quantification, and has driven scalability and maintainability using Snakemake and GitHub. Her background includes variant calling and expression analysis across WES, RNA-Seq and TCGA datasets from work at IBG, and earlier cheminformatics-target prediction during an industry internship. She combines strong computational rigor with practical productionization of bioinformatics workflows, and her work highlights a focus on quantifying uncertainty in genomic measurements—a less obvious but critical aspect of translating methods to clinical and viral surveillance contexts.
