Hi, I’m Yasmine, a bioinformatics researcher and educator with a passion for turning complex data into meaningful insights. I recently completed an M.Sc. in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology at the University of Manchester, where I studied SLAM-seq analysis of yeast transcriptomic adaptations to glucose deprivation and developed a strong foundation in data analysis, scripting, and reproducible workflows. I have hands-on experience designing curricula, conducting experiments, and collaborating across teams, from the Institut Pasteur de Recherche to CellClar C.I.C. I thrive on translating complex concepts into accessible materials and on applying computational tools to biological questions.
