Skyler Kramer

My undergraduate background consisted of research in enzyme kinetics and biologically driven machine learning. These research experiences led me to MUIDSI, where I began my formal training in bioinformatics. I have contributed to many projects since joining MUIDSI, including bulk / single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics, image processing, software engineering, and deep learning. My current research is on the application of large language models to RNA engineering.
