About Me
Hi! My name is Arta Seyedian, and I'm a bioinformatics analyst who has recently transitioned into web app development.
My career in tech began with a strong foundation in bioinformatics, which I approached with a biologist's background12. Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to explore various subfields and research niches, diving deep into the expansive world of bioinformatics:
- Human evolutionary genomics (unpublished study on Neandertal sQTL introgression in modern human DNA—ask me about it)
- Psychiatric and neurological transcriptomics34
- Single-cell RNA-seq analysis @ the Center for Single Cell Biology at CHOP
Currently, I'm working as a contracted Web App Developer for PEDsnet, a large, inter-institutional pediatric clinical research data-sharing consortium. My role involves setting up and customizing two instances of the open-source metadata repository DSpace to manage code sets (large SQL queries that return data from previous research studies stored within the PEDSnet network). These repositories enable investigators around the world to collaboratively share pediatric clinical research data.
To meet these challenges, I've been rapidly learning and applying new skills in TypeScript, Angular, web development, and backend management to tailor these repositories to the specific needs of our stakeholders.
