Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Researcher

Misvik Biology Oy / MELOMANES EU Doctoral Network

Conducts doctoral research in cancer transcriptomics and nanomedicine safety while developing bioinformatics platforms for an EU-funded consortium.

Areas of work & evidence

Research & Cancer Transcriptomics Cancer transcriptomics, nanomedicine safety and patient-derived melanoma research.
  • Designs and develops bioinformatics platforms supporting nanomedicine safety assessment and cancer research within the MELOMANES EU Doctoral Network.
  • Applied transcriptomic and pathway-analysis methods to patient-derived melanoma models and nanoparticle-treatment responses.
  • Delivered RNA-seq work with INSERM, Gustave Roussy and Cochin Institute in Paris; presented consortium updates and scientific workflow demonstrations.
Bioinformatics & RNA-seq Engineering Governed RNA-seq processing from data intake through analytical review and controlled downstream hand-off.
  • Built RNA-seq workflows spanning dataset ingestion, row-identity resolution, gene-expression matrix canonicalization, normalization/QC review and controlled downstream hand-off.
  • Integrated edgeR DGEList/filterByExpr/TMM/logCPM, PCA and limma MDS into browser-accessible workflows with explicit analytical state, candidate review and committed outputs.
  • Developed modular R and Python pipelines for RNA-seq processing, statistical analysis, visualization and reuse of high-throughput transcriptomics data.
Scientific Platform Engineering Browser-accessible scientific systems connecting interfaces, orchestration, persistence and computational services.
  • Connected PHP/JavaScript workspaces, Node.js orchestration, MariaDB persistence, R/Plumber scientific computation and Python/FastAPI research-synthesis services.
  • Integrated R/Plumber statistical services with browser interfaces and backend orchestration to make analysis executable and inspectable by non-programming users.
  • Developed modular scientific-software architecture spanning frontend workspaces, backend services, databases and computational runtimes.
AI & Inference Systems Local-LLM research infrastructure combining accelerated inference, bounded assistance and production resilience.
  • Designed and production-validated a resilient GPU-accelerated inference architecture for ZAR AI using CUDA-enabled llama.cpp, Node-controlled GPU/CPU failover and automatic recovery, reducing representative inference from minutes to seconds while preserving an independent production CPU fallback.
  • Built ZAR AI as a bounded scientific-assistance layer connecting deterministic tools, structured retrieval and locally hosted Mistral inference while keeping generated explanation separate from computed results.
Research Data & Governance Traceability, ownership and controlled analytical state across scientific workflows.
  • Implemented metadata-driven provenance, checksum verification, structured issue reporting, private dataset ownership and review/commit workflows.
  • Connected provenance, SHA-256 checksums, audit events, structured issue codes and owner-scoped datasets across scientific platform services.
  • Designed analytical workflows around explicit candidate review, committed outputs and governed downstream hand-off.

03 / Research focus

Making complex research data inspectable

Current work sits at the intersection of cancer transcriptomics, nanomedicine safety, computational biology and scientific software engineering, with an emphasis on making research inputs, transformations and outputs inspectable, reproducible and reusable.

Biological domain

Cancer & Nanomedicine

Patient-derived cancer models, nanoparticle response and nanomedicine safety.

Analytical domain

Transcriptomics

RNA-seq analysis from expression modelling through pathway-level interpretation.

Computational principle

Reproducible Computation

Traceable analytical state, governed artifacts and reusable scientific outputs.

Engineering domain

Scientific Software

Browser-accessible systems connecting biological questions to computation and evidence.

04 / Software engineering

A system of systems, with explicit boundaries

Scientific software remains the primary focus. Zomniverse connects research workflows, GeneBean and MARSS provide governed pipeline infrastructure, and ZAR supports evidence-aware scientific assistance. Alongside that platform work, ZAC explores bounded agentic architecture, ZomniverseGitPet develops approachable Windows tooling, and WildVerse demonstrates independent full-stack product delivery.

Scientific software development

Verified technical detail

Designed and deployed Zomniverse as a modular scientific-software platform integrating browser workspaces, Node.js services, MariaDB persistence, R/Plumber computation, protected datasets and structured technical knowledge.

Verified evidence

  • Zomniverse provides a browser-accessible research environment combining scientific tools, shared dataset state, deterministic computation, structured documentation and AI-assisted explanation.
  • GeneBean is Zomniverse's bioinformatics pipeline-hosting layer and can host and manage pipelines implemented in different programming languages.
  • MARSS is the first pipeline hosted by GeneBean and implements the primarily R-based workflow File Reader -> Row Namer -> Expression Matrix Canonicalization -> Normalization & QC -> governed downstream handoff.
  • R computation includes edgeR DGEList, filterByExpr, TMM calcNormFactors and logCPM, plus PCA and limma MDS quality-control outputs.
  • Node.js coordinates request boundaries and service handoff; PHP/JavaScript provide modular workspaces; MariaDB supports identity and persistence; R/Plumber provides scientific computation; Python/FastAPI supports ZAR AI Research City synthesis of retrieved PubMed evidence.
  • Governance controls include owner-scoped private datasets, CSRF protection, SHA-256 checksums, provenance, audit events, issue-code routing and review/commit states.
  • ZAR AI combines structured providers, local Mistral inference, retrieval and deterministic tools as a bounded synthesis and explanation layer rather than the sole source of truth.
  • GB-Tox currently provides a governed toxicogenomic signature-scoring backend using ssGSEA and private result registration; the frontend and predictive validation are not established.

ZAC · Zomniverse Agent for Code

Private agentic software development

Active private development

Developing a private C#/.NET 8 coding-agent workspace that uses local Mistral inference through llama.cpp while keeping filesystem authority inside a bounded controller.

Verified evidence

  • Developing a private C#/.NET 8 coding-agent workspace around a strict security principle: the model proposes, the controller validates, and only the controller acts.
  • Implemented structured model actions, an allowlisted read-only tool registry, canonical workspace containment, permission and policy gates, bounded iterations, cancellation, audit events and controller-owned execution.
  • Runs local Mistral inference through a loopback llama.cpp endpoint with GPU acceleration while keeping model access separate from filesystem and operating-system authority.
  • Includes a loopback browser host, asynchronous server-sent event delivery and automated tests covering controller, policy, tool, host and security-boundary behaviour.

  • Supports project inspection, safe local Git preparation, reviewable .gitignore guidance, side-by-side file comparison, per-project test profiles, local checkpoints, repository health checks and recent history.
  • Keeps remote operations explicit and user-approved: it does not pull or push automatically, create online repositories, replace an existing remote or use destructive reset and clean operations.
  • The public repository includes a dedicated test project and documents the application as an early preview under active development.
