ジョーダン・ラミロフスキー（教授）

Jordan RAMILOWSKI, PhD is a Professor at the Advanced Medical Research Center Bioinformatics Laboratory at the Yokohama City University (YCU) and a Visiting Scientist at RIKEN Yokohama. Jordan’s research focuses mainly on understanding regulatory roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in immune cell differentiation and on cell–cell communication. In his research, Jordan uses a variety of computational tools (nf-core pipelines, R statistical software, Python, etc.) and methods to analyze bulk and single cell Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data (RNA-seq, Hi-C, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq data and more). Prof. RAMILOWSKI has been an instructor for our BI Practical courses and a lecturer in the Current Trends in Bioinformatics course since 2020.
