Background:
Dr San is a bioinformatics data science postdoctoral researcher at the CERI-KRISP. He completed his PhD in Medicine, Majoring in Virology at the Nelson R. Mandela School of Medicine, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. His PhD research focused on the analysis and visualization of complex viral genomic and associated epidemiological datasets to infer their introduction, evolution, transmission and spatio-temporal spread. He also possess in-depth experience characterizing bacterial communities using the 16S-rRNA marker gene and analysing host factors affecting the distribution of these communities. Prior to his doctoral studies, he received a BSc. In Computer Science and MSc. In Data Communication and Software Engineering at Makerere University. Dr. Sans research interests include Bioinformatics Software, Databases and Pipelines Development, Next Generation Sequence Data Management and Analysis (Genomic Epidemiology, Phylogenetics, Phylogeography, Transmission Clusters, Recombination, Epistasis, Drug Resistance, and Microbiome), and High Performance and Cloud Computing for Data Intensive Projects. Dr. San has over 30 publications, with many of them in the top scientific journals including Nature, Science and Lancet.
