Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIris Yu is a bioinformatician with 10 years of experience bridging molecular biology and computational analysis, currently applying her skills at EMBL-EBI in Cambridge. Trained in molecular biology and marine biotechnology, she began at the bench and evolved into a Python-focused data scientist who tackles genomics, metagenomics, and toxin protein structure prediction. Her career includes roles at the University of Utah, Philippine Genome Center, and marine research programs where she connected wet-lab workflows to large-scale genomic analyses and metabolite pathway discovery. An active mentor with Women Who Code Manila, she pairs practical lab experience with reproducible bioinformatics pipelines and a readiness to adopt new languages and frameworks as projects demand. Notably, her background in both field-focused marine research and institutional bioinformatics gives her a rare perspective on translating ecological samples into robust computational insights.
