Summary
Kenneth O'neill is a Next Generation Sequencing Data Analyst with eight years of experience bridging wet-lab genomics and computational analysis. After transitioning from a lengthy construction career through self-directed study to a BSc in Medical Microbiology and an MSc in Bioinformatics (Distinction), he spent several years developing HPC pipelines for WGS, WES, RNA, ChIP and ATAC data at MRC Harwell. He now applies that pipeline and RNA-Seq expertise to intestinal tract transcriptomics at University College Dublin, combining practical HPC training with domain knowledge in microbiology. Kenneth’s background reflects uncommon persistence and adaptability—returning to data science after family-driven detours—while maintaining prize-winning academic performance. He brings hands-on pipeline implementation experience, a strong foundation in computational biology, and a proven ability to translate complex sequencing datasets into actionable results.
