About

Hello! I'm Daniel Schreyer, a passionate bioinformatician specialising in next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis and workflow development. With a deep fascination for the world of extrachromosomal circular DNAs (ecDNAs), I'm on a quest to unravel the mysteries hidden within our DNA, particularly in the context of pancreatic cancer. Through extensive data analysis and exploration, I aim to contribute to our understanding of this disease and shed light on the role of ecDNAs in cancer progression. One of my notable achievements is the development and active maintenance of nf-core/circdna, an open-source nextflow bioinformatics pipeline, which offers researchers a reliable and efficient solution for studying ecDNAs.

  • iGEM Participant at iGEM Competition
    Feb 2019 - Nov 2019 · 10 mos

    Alongside my Master's thesis, I participated in the iGEM competition in which I worked with an interdisciplinary team, consisting of around 30 students, on an immunology and synthetic biology project. Throughout the whole project, clear communication and problem-solving skills were necessary to set and accomplish team goals. My tasks included: project management, experimental design, laboratory work, human practices, and problem-solving.
