  “RNAseq analysis of a cohort with glioblastoma to identify an oxphos signature and biomarkers”Utilized a comprehensive RNA-seq analysis pipeline (Bash, R, HPC, STAR, Kallisto, HTSeq, DESeq2, Nextflow) to uncover an oxidative phosphorylation signature in glioblastoma, thereby deepening our understanding of tumor heterogeneity.Workflow Optimization: Compared FFPE vs FF sample preparations—including integrated troubleshooting—to determine the optimal method, improving RNAseq data quality by 60% and setting new standards for future sequencing.Technical Reporting: Authored detailed documentation that drove iterative refinements in both experimental and computational workflows on HPC systems.
