Biography
Nathan has almost 15 years experience in the field of bioinformatics with expertise in genomics, transcriptomics, system biology, phylogenetics, bioinformatics training, Linux systems administration, high-performance and cloud computing. His background was first in biology, by undergraduate training, and then in bioinformatics by PhD. During his PhD he investigated the location of the root, the oldest part, of the eukaryotic tree of life. It was here where he learned about phylogenetics and molecular sequence analysis. At this time he was also exposed to high-performance computing infrastructure and the Linux operating system.
