COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY • BIOINFORMATICS • SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING

Hi, I’m Kim Casa.

I build reproducible computational pipelines to analyze microbial genomic data and uncover insights in pathogen evolution, antimicrobial resistance, and public health.

About Me

I am a bioinformatics researcher interested in using genomic data to better understand infectious disease, antimicrobial resistance, and pathogen evolution.

My work focuses on building reproducible computational workflows for bacterial genomics, including genome assembly, quality control, annotation, antimicrobial resistance detection, serotyping, and population-level analysis.

My recent research has focused on Salmonella enterica in food production and public health contexts, where I developed a Snakemake-based workflow to analyze large-scale genomic datasets and identify patterns related to antimicrobial resistance and strain diversity.

I am especially interested in computational biology, infectious disease genomics, epidemiology, and scientific computing.
