Senior🎓
Top SchoolYi Liew is a Senior Research Scientist at CSIRO with nine years’ experience turning next-generation sequencing data into biologically meaningful insights, specializing in DNA methylation and long-read analyses for human health and pan-cancer marker discovery. Trained as a geneticist (PhD, Cambridge) with wet-lab roots and a postdoc studying coral epigenomics, he uniquely blends hands-on experimental understanding with strong UNIX/Python bioinformatics skills and a pragmatic use of R. He programs liquid handlers to automate tedious lab steps, champions clear, well-coloured data visualizations, and applies rigorous statistics to extract interpretable signatures from complex datasets. Known for meticulous code comments and a preference for two-dimensional text-and-number problems, he thrives on making messy biological data tell a clear story.
