Annelies Emmaneel

Dr. Annelies Emmaneel defended her PhD in Bioinformatics last year. She holds a Master of Science in Biochemistry and Biotechnology from Ghent University, specializing in Microbiology and Bioinformatics. During her PhD, Annelies worked primarily with cytometry data, developing computational pipelines to classify patients with primary immunodeficiencies, with the aim of integrating these pipelines into clinical practice.

In addition to her interest in applying computational techniques to biological problems, she has a particular focus on the preprocessing steps of computational pipelines. This led her to develop PeacoQC, a quality control tool designed to clean various types of cytometry data.
