Shayne Skrtic – Computational Biologist & Bioinformatics Researcher

Hello! I’m Shayne Skrtic, an undergraduate at Xavier University majoring in Biology with minors in Computer Science and Chemistry. I am passionate about research, computational biology, and applying technology to solve complex biological problems.

My work spans bioinformatics, computational biochemistry, molecular dynamics, statistical modeling and laboratory experimentation. I have two published papers:

• COSMIC Database and Structural Modeling Analysis of CYP2D6 Mutations in Human Cancers (2024)
• Measuring Cell Dimensions in Fission Yeast Using Machine Learning (2024)

I am currently a Quality Assurance Microbiologist at Q Laboratories, where I perform and validate microbiological techniques while ensuring compliance with USDA and FDA guidelines.

I am also involved in aging-related cancer research, applying computational and experimental methods to study disease mechanisms.

I have experience developing data analysis pipelines to support lab research, helping streamline and automate complex workflows.

Previously, I contributed to bioinformatics software development at OakVar Bioinformatics, enhancing genomic analysis tools and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of biologists and software engineers.

This website showcases my academic work, projects, publications, posters, and professional experience. You can explore my portfolio, learn about my publications, and see my research contributions in computational biology, bioinformatics, and experimental biology.

I am enthusiastic about collaboration, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary research, and I aim to pursue a PhD to further advance computational and systems biology at the intersection of biology and technology.
