My name is Cindy Yeh and I am a computational biologist at GigaGen, Inc.

• 😄 Pronouns: she/her
• 🦂 Background: I grew up in New Mexico.
• 🌲 Training: As an undergraduate at NMSU, I studied muscle degeneration and transdifferentiation in the weakly electric fish Sternopygus macrurus in the lab of Dr. Graciela Unguez. I then moved to Seattle to pursue my PhD in Genome Sciences at the University of Washington in the lab of Dr. Maitreya Dunham where I studied natural allelic variation in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
• 🧬 Profession: I previously worked at Ultima Genomics as a scientist where I developed assays and analysis pipelines for Ultima's emerging iteration of short-read sequencers. This was a hybrid wet/dry lab role, but I shifted to a fully computational role when I started my position at GigaGen. As a bioinformatician, I help analyze biological datasets and develop new tools for our polyclonal antibody drug discovery platform.
• 🔭 Interests: Outside the lab, I love working on jigsaw puzzles, hiking/swimming, playing team sports, and (unfortunately, I know) playing LoL.
• 👯 Fun fact: I worked alongside the godfather of tie dye, Paul Kenney. He's a clever chemist!
