Welliton de Souza

I am PhD in Sciences working with bioinformatics, high-throughput sequencing data analysis and systems development for high-performance computing environments.

I currently held a Technical Training scholarship at the Laboratory of Biostatistics and Computational Biology (BCBLab), University of Campinas, Brazil. I also collaborate with the Brazilian Initiative on Precision Medicine (BIPMed).
