I am responsible for managing and supporting a Galaxy web server used by the Earlham Institute bioinformaticians to run large-scale analyses in an accessible, reproducible and transparent way.
I am also collaborating on the open source development of the Galaxy platform and of its tools and workflows.
Prior to joining the Earlham Institute, I completed a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Udine and a PhD in Functional and Structural Genomics at SISSA in Trieste, as well as working for five years on Systems Biology and Galaxy at CRS4 in Italy.
