Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Bogema is a molecular epidemiologist with nine years of experience applying molecular biology, genomics and proteomics to animal and agricultural pathogen surveillance at NSW Department of Primary Industries. He combines a PhD in molecular biology with hands-on diagnostic test design, validation and field-relevant assay development from roles spanning academia and government, including postdoctoral work on Theileria orientalis and insecticide-resistance tracking in agricultural pests. Comfortable at the bench and in bioinformatics, he contributes to the Bioconda packaging ecosystem—helping automate and maintain conda recipes for key bioinformatics tools—so his work bridges experimental and computational reproducibility. Based in New South Wales, he has a track record of turning mechanistic research into practical diagnostic solutions that support biosecurity and industry. Colleagues describe him as methodical and adaptable, able to translate complex molecular data into operational surveillance tools.
