Summary
María Márquez is a technical specialist and postdoctoral-trained bioinformatician with eight years of experience applying population genetics and computational pipelines to real-world biological questions. She combines R, Python, Bash and awk to build reproducible analyses and custom workflows, often bridging bioinformatics tools with hands-on data processing. Her career spans academia and applied research, including a PhD in Bioinformatics from Universitat Pompeu Fabra and projects from differential expression in tea to fungal resistance mechanisms. Now based in Oviedo, she works in pediatric-focused technical roles at HUCA while drawing on prior INRAE postdoctoral work. Colleagues value her for translating complex genetic analyses into practical insights and for a pragmatic, script-first approach to problem solving. An early habit of cross-disciplinary internships (from electrochemical biosensors to chromatography) gives her a knack for integrating lab techniques with computational solutions.
