Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKévin R is a bioinformatics specialist and computational biologist with 12 years' experience blending wet-lab insight and software engineering to tackle genomic and infection-biology questions. Based in Oxford, he has held multiple postdoctoral roles at the University of Oxford and Imperial College and now contributes to industry and community initiatives including Acuity Technologies, the Software Sustainability Institute fellowship, and the Bioconductor CAB. He is a trained bioengineer and PhD in Computational Infection Biology who builds reproducible analysis tools (R, Python, Shiny, Bioconductor) and releases software to broaden scientific impact. Known for integrating large-scale genetics, proteomics and metabolomics datasets, he brings both experimental empathy and production-grade coding to translational research. An engineer by training who also spent early career days developing sequence-alignment tools, he is equally comfortable writing packages as he is mentoring researchers in sustainable software practices.
