Timofey Prodanov, Ph.D.

Hi! I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and University Hospital of Düsseldorf. I develop and apply algorithms for bioinformatics, primarily for short and long read sequencing data around structurally variable and duplicated regions in the human genome. Please, write me if you are interested in collaborating or have any other questions.
