Faculty of Sciences
Nhi Hin is a Bioinformatician at the South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) situated in SAHMRI. Her current research interests include transcriptomics, single-cell RNA-seq analysis, omics data integration, and systems biology analysis.
Nhi Hin completed her PhD at the University of Adelaide's Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Laboratory and former Bioinformatics Hub in 2020. Her doctoral studies involved using transcriptomic analysis to elucidate incipient stages of Alzheimer's disease at the molecular level. Her presentations relating to this research have been recognised nationally with five awards from bioinformatics and biomedical conferences. A summary of the research completed during her studies is provided in the video presentation below.
