I am Rutharra Ghayadthri Manisekaran, a recent graduate with a master's degree in genome analytics from Monash University. With a deep passion for clinical genomics, I am eager to contribute my informed perspectives and strong enthusiasm for learning to the field. Throughout my studies, I gained valuable practical experience in wet-lab skills associated with genomics and proficiently utilized basic bioinformatics tools and genomics databases. I have a solid understanding of somatic and germline variant curation, as well as the ability to prepare comprehensive clinical genomics reports, as evidenced by the samples provided in my portfolio. Whether working independently or collaboratively, I consistently perform at a high level and my academic projects showcase my exceptional critical thinking abilities. Furthermore, my passion for teaching and travel has not only boosted my confidence and communication skills but has also broadened my horizons. I am thrilled to embark on my professional journey and make meaningful contributions to the field of clinical genomics.
