Claire Chung is now a PhD student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong working on Bioinformatics, after receiving her B.Sc. degree in Cell and Molecular Biology. With her passion in scientific research, she joined three labs during her college study, including the synthetic biology lab at the University of Edinburgh. Her current projects include genomic analysis using next-generation sequencing and optical mapping data, and Crustacean genomic and transcriptomic analysis. Claire started programming ten years ago, and has daily use of Python and Matplotlib to tackle bioinformatics problems and to bring convenience to life. She constantly keeps up with the latest technological trends such as by participating in PyCon Hong Kong 2016. She is always keen to share her knowledge and learning experience. In addition to science, she developed skills in multilingual translation and graphic design by interest, and found these transferrable skills useful at work.
