Hi there, I'm Katherine!
🎒📚 I studied Genetics, Cell Biology and Development and Microbiology at the University of Minnesota 🧬🔬
💻🖱️ I am a researcher on the Galaxy-P team and am trying to learn as much as I can about bioinformatics and proteomics, while creating Galaxy-based workflows and online training materials that promote community adoption of bioinformatic workflows and tools 🤔🦠
🍂❤️ My favorite season is autumn. I love wearing oversized hoodies when it gets chilly out :D
🌟 Current project: Developing Meta-iPep, a bioinformatic pipeline for mass spectrometry-based analysis of microbial immunopeptides, melding immunopeptidomics with metaproteomics
◾ Aid in data visualization and interpretation and tool development for analytical workflows
◾ Create tutorial materials to encourage community adoption and usage of clinical metaproteomics and neoantigen workflows
◾ Refined scientific writing skills through preparation and publication of two peer-reviewed articles
◾ Galaxy Training Materials: My GTN Contributions
