Onur Yukselen, MSc Bioinformatician lll Bioinformatics Core Onur is interested in creating easy-to-use pipelines for processing next-generation sequencing data. He is currently developing user-friendly servers (e.g. https://dolphinnext.umassmed.edu) to create custom pipelines. He works closely with our clients and collaborators to understand their unique needs, and provides the effective solutions to support their projects. |
