Summary
Mercè Nerín is a Postdoctoral Fellow and evolutionary geneticist with a decade of experience in genomics and bioinformatics, specializing in large-scale sequencing analysis for non-model organisms. She has developed and optimized pipelines for short- and long-read assembly, annotation, comparative genomics and phylogenomics across academic positions at Uppsala, Gothenburg and the Wellcome Sanger Institute. An effective communicator and educator, she co-directs the Evomics Workshop on Genomics, teaches UNIX sessions, and organizes inclusive training programs that bridge methodology and outreach. Mercè pairs rigorous research—working on Drosophila, Wolbachia and plant-associated bacteria—with hands-on pipeline engineering, aiming to translate academic tools into applied solutions that support diverse scientific teams.
