Dr. Daniel Levings
About me:
I am a "wet lab" biologist turned computational biologist with a diverse background spanning research in ecology (coral reefs), biofuels chemistry, stem cell biology, genetics, cancer biology, transcription factor biology, reactive oxygen species/oxidative stress, immune biology and more. I am currently a Computational Biologist II at Adaptive Biotechnologies working at the intersection of the adaptive immune system and cancer biology. In this role, I use Python, BASH scripting, high performance computing, Docker and more to support Adaptive's Private Product laboratory, which aims to identify personalized T-cell receptor cancer therapeutics. I also continue to support research in the laboratory of Dr. Matthew Slattery; there, I facilitate novel biological discoveries through integrative analysis of a variety of data including: Big Data (such as large biomedical databases like TCGA and ENCODE), high-throughput sequencing data (generated both in the Slattery lab and other labs), genome sequences, and other large data sets.
