Hello, I am
Hans Escobar
Final year Biology student
I apply my robust foundation in molecular biology and genetics, coupled with adept computational and software development skills I contribute to biological research.
My proficiency extends to programming languages, with a strong command of Python and Rust, complemented by experience in MATLAB. Additionally, I have expertise in leveraging bioinformatics tools like nf-core and COBRA, along with a comprehensive understanding of biological databases such as KEEG and ENCORI/startBase.
I have effectively applied my skill set to processing biological data and systems biology modeling.
Experience
- Student Assistant
- I contributed to validating and curating a potato's (Solanum tuberosum) metabolic model.
- Research Assistant
- I explored strategies for integrating miRNA data into an astrocyte computational model.
- Biology and Programming private tutor
- I have guided biological sciences graduate students in grasping the fundamentals of computational thinking and programming with Python. Additionally, I have supported high school students in clarifying general Biology concepts and reviewing class assignments.
