Dr. Hesham Gibriel is a senior Bioinformatics Researcher at Jochen's Prehn group at RCSI. He's interested in studying how NGS including Genomics, Transcriptomics, and Metagenomics datasets can explain human diseases. Specifically, Dr. Gibriel focuses on the identification of novel prognostic and predictive biomarkers in neurodegenerative diseases. To do this, NGS data generated from sRNAseq datasets are analysed and screened for candidate ncRNAs that could be differentially expressed in control vs treated samples.
