Math, R, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics

Malisa S.

Hi, I am a computational biologist who specializes in teaching math, molecular biology, and R (the programming language). I am also available to teach English.

I enjoy working together with each student to understand their personal educational goals. Together we can put together a learning plan that works for you. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Happy Learning!

I hold an M.S. in Bioinformatics from the University of Oregon and a B.S. in Molecular Biology from Haverford College. I have worked as a computational biologist for 9 years in both academic and industry roles, and I have engaged in teaching and mentorship throughout my career. I mentor high-school and undergraduate students in data analysis skills as part of programs like "Coding for Cancer" at the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center, and I have experience grading for courses in Calculus I and Introductory Computer Science (Python-based).
The collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of my field means that I combine mathematics, biology, and coding principles together on a daily basis to support scientific discovery.
