Computational RNA Biology
Giovanni Quinones Valdez, Ph.D.
Making sense of RNA variation with computational biology
I develop methods for analyzing RNA sequencing data, with a focus on nucleotide variants from genetic and post-transcriptional processes. My work connects method development with biological interpretation in health and disease.
Current role
Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA
Building computational pipelines to characterize RNA processing and variant biology.
Education
- Ph.D. in Bioengineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2021
- B.S. in Agricultural and Biological Engineering University of Florida, 2015
- International Baccalaureate United World Colleges of the Adriatic, 2011
Research themes
Beyond the bench
I also enjoy building RNA-inspired art and folded-paper designs.
