About me

I’m Naser, a researcher in bioinformatics and molecular biology, currently finishing up my PhD at the Université de Sherbrooke, affiliated with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC).

My work sits at the intersection of molecular biology and computational science. I enjoy working across the entire research cycle: designing wet-lab experiments, writing code to process data, and analyzing the resulting patterns.

Over the last few years, my focus has been on environmental genomics, viromics, and microbiomes. To help make these fields more accessible, I built MetaViralyst—an ecosystem designed for analyzing and exploring complex viral datasets.

Outside of research, I like to spend time cycling or rewatching classic movies!

This site is a place to document my journey in bioinformatics, share cool tools, and post about things I’m learning along the way. Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to check out my CV or research section if you want to know more!
