Mareike C. JaniakI received my PhD in Evolutionary Anthropology from Rutgers University, after which I was a postdoctoral scholar in Dr. Amanda Melin's lab at the University of Calgary (2018-2020). Following this, I was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Salford with Drs. Jean Boubli, Robin Beck and Ian Goodhead (2020-2022). In 2022 I worked with Dr. James Higham and Dr. Noah Snyder-Mackler on metagenomic projects in the Cayo Santiago macaques and gelada monkeys.
During my academic positions I was broadly interested in the ways that animals adapt to the specific demands of their ecological niches. For this, I combined genomic information with dietary data or behavioral observations to understand the genetic and/or behavioral changes that allow a species to survive in its environment. I am now a Bioinformatics Analyst at the Canadian Centre for Computational Genomics (C3G). I enjoy working with big data, including genomic and metagenomic sequencing data, coding (R/python/bash), and data visualization.
