About Your Instructor

Learning from active research experience

Hi everyone, I'm Mennah Bassiouny! 👋

I'm a Master's student in Bioinformatics at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering. My background is in pharmaceutical sciences, and I transitioned to bioinformatics because I was excited to explore how computational tools can help answer important biological and medical questions. 💊➡️💻

🔬 My research interests include:

  • 🧬 Gene regulation and regulatory mechanisms
  • 🧪 RNA biology and RNA–protein interactions
  • 📊 Transcriptomics and epitranscriptomics
  • 🔍 Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data analysis
  • 🔗 Integrative and multi-omics approaches to study biological systems

When I'm not staring at data, you'll find me:

💪 At the gym | 🏍️ On a motorbike ride | 🧩 Solving puzzles | 🧱 Building Lego | 🎵 Enjoying music | 🎯 Target shooting | 👧 Spending time with my 3-year-old daughter

💡 I started BioNexus because I saw a genuine gap - many people are curious about bioinformatics but don't know where to start. This platform is built on real community interest and will evolve based on what you actually need to learn.

🎯 My goal: Make bioinformatics learning simple, practical, and accessible for everyone.
