Welcome to my GitHub page!

I'm Silvia, a Research Support Technician (PTA) at the Institute for Integrative Systems Biology (I2SysBio) in Valencia, Spain , working within the BCBHub project (CSIC Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Connection). I hold a PhD in Microbial Ecology from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), specializing in bioinformatics, microbial community assembly, and computational biology.

🔭 My work includes...

  • Maintaining, benchmarking, and validating bioinformatic tools on the BCBHub portal, including usage analytics & ticketing-based user support 🛠️
  • Advising CSIC researchers on FAIR code practices, workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake), and containerization (Apptainer, Conda, Docker) 📦
  • Creating technical training materials and documentation for the scientific community 📖

💻 Some programming languages and tools I have worked with

Python R bash Linux C++ Git Perl MATLAB

⚙️ I have experience with...

  • Studying microbial community assembly through identification of phylogenetic core groups, functional annotation, and metabolic modeling (FBA).
  • Working with HPC environments and workflow optimization using SLURM.
  • Programming for automated lab platforms (Opentrons OT-2).
  • Collaborating with national and international research teams (Spain 🇪🇸, Norway 🇳🇴, Japan 🇯🇵).
  • Supporting researchers in metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data processing.

👯 I’m looking to collaborate on...

  • Development, optimization, and integration of open-source bioinformatic tools 🔧
  • Applying bioinformatics and computational tools to advance microbial ecology and systems biology research 🧬

💻 Featured Projects and Repositories


R logo

    dilgrowth
This package includes command line scripts and standalone R/c++ functions for simulating growth-dilution experiments. These simulations include neutral drift and optionally functional groups with different group fitness.

R logo

    correlation_graphs
Based on Goyal et al.'s (2018) method for inferring statistically significant correlations between OTUs.

Python logo

    SBML_to_graph
A few rudimentary functions to generate metabolite graphs from SBML models. Uses ReFramed and one CarveMe function.

Python logo

    custom_ot2_utils
Opentrons OT2 robot functions or custom labware definitions that we feel other people might find useful.
