Milestone 1 of 11: Bulk ATAC-seq analysis

Jul — Aug 2026 · research

Bulk ATAC-seq analysis

University Medical Center Göttingen

Built a reproducible donor-aware workflow comparing chromatin accessibility in mature and memory human NK cells.

More about this milestone
  • Processed 10 public samples through quality control, alignment, consensus-region counting, donor-aware differential testing, motif exploration, and genome-browser review.
  • Full statistical results and interpretation are documented in the GitHub repository.

03 / Profile

Research practice

Interests and supporting work.

My background in laboratory genetics shapes how I approach computational work: start with the biological question, inspect the data, and communicate what the analysis can support. Alongside my studies, I teach Python and help students work through programming problems.
