Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNima Rafati is a bioinformatics lead with nine years of experience translating next-generation sequencing and multiomics data into actionable genetic insights across species. Based in Uppsala, he has driven genome assembly, annotation, population genetics and single-cell analyses at NBIS and now builds pipelines and tools for Epigenica, bridging R&D and production workflows. His work includes developing practical genetic tests for animal breeders—most notably a test for Shetland Ponies that helps eliminate harmful variants from breeding lines—demonstrating a rare blend of applied genomics and tool development. Trained to PhD level in bioinformatics and genomics, he combines deep methodological innovation in multiomics with hands-on pipeline engineering, often turning complex datasets into reproducible analyses.
