Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaymond Kiu is a Research Fellow with 10 years' experience specializing in microbial genomics, metagenomics and transcriptomics, with deep hands-on expertise in 16S amplicon, shotgun metagenome and RNA-Seq analyses. He focuses on gut microbes—particularly Clostridium, Bifidobacterium and Enterococcus—and combines wet-lab training with strong computational skills in R, Bash and Unix tooling. Currently affiliated with the University of Birmingham and a visiting scientist at the Quadram Institute, he brings a track record of academic research from PhD work through research scientist roles. His background in nutrition and immunology gives him a multidisciplinary lens on host–microbiome interactions that informs both experimental design and bioinformatic interpretation. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex sequencing datasets into biologically meaningful insights and reproducible pipelines.
