Dr Morteza Kouhsar is a bioinformatician with a background in computer science. He holds a BSc and MSc in Computer Science and a PhD in Bioinformatics and his journey into computational biology began during his MSc, where he developed a novel algorithm for detecting protein complexes in protein interaction networks.
He pursued a PhD at the University of Tehran, focusing on RNA sequencing data analysis and the study of biological networks in cancer research. After relocating to the UK, Morteza joined the Complex Disease Epigenetics Group in the Department of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Exeter as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow.
In his current role, Moteza specialises in the analysis of omics data, particularly in the context of dementia genomics, with expertise in epigenetics, RNA-Seq, circular RNA, and small RNA data analysis. He is proficient in R and Python programming and has a strong foundation in graph theory, algorithms, machine learning, and deep learning — particularly in their applications to computational biology.
Driven by a deep passion for bioinformatics, Morteza is committed to advancing our understanding of complex biological systems and developing computational solutions to pressing challenges in the life sciences.
