Dr. Pei Qin (Sabrina) Ng, PhD

Hi there! I am Dr. Pei Qin (Sabrina) Ng, currently a postdoctoral researcher with Baulcombe’s group at the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.

PhD in in Plant epigenetics, RNA biology and Bioinformatics. During my PhD I have worked intensively on both bioinformatics analysis and benchwork experiments, including next-generation sequencing library construction- hence an ambidextrous bioinformatician.  

As a Bioinformatician/Computational Biologist:

my current area of interest and expertise includes but not limited to

• Genomics
• Transcriptomics (RNA-seq)
• Small RNA seq (miRNA and non-miRNAs)
• RNA long read sequencing (Oxford Nanopore and PacBio)
• Single cell and spatial transcriptomics
• Multiomic analysis
• Phylogenetics and evolution
• Metagenomics
• Proteomics and Metabolomics

my current skillsets for programming and workflow management are as listed

Languages:

• R (Proficient)
• Bash (Proficient)
• Python (minimal)

Workflow management, version control and documentations

• Rmarkdown
• Snakemake
• Nextflow
• Github –BioinfoHub-PeiQinNg

Past appointments:

• Bioinformatician (2022 January-December)
  •  South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) of South Australia Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), at the heart of the Adelaide BioMed City.
• 21/22 Freiburg Rising Star Residence Fellow (2021 September-2023 January)
  • the University of Freiburg and Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics.
  • My research interest as a residence fellow is to investigate the role of RNA modifications in neuronal development with Dr. Valérie Hilgers.

Other current affiliations:

• Visiting Research Associate
  • School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology, University of Adelaide with A/Prof. Iain Searle.
• Visiting Scientist
  • Massachusetts Eye and Ear , Harvard Medical School, Harvard University, Boston, MA, USA with Dr. Daisy Shu
