Hi! I’m Giuliano, a PhD student in statistics at the Korthauer lab from The University of British Columbia (UBC). My research interests include clinical prediction modelling using omics features, Bayesian statistics, and decision analysis. I am also a Bioinformatics Scientist at BiomeHub, a biotech startup from Brazil, where I provide statistics guidance for clinical microbiome research and write production-ready software for omics data analysis. I earned my MSc in bioinformatics from UBC, also at the Korthauer lab, and my title of pharmacist from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), in Brazil.

Swab pooling: a new method for large-scale RT-qPCR screening of SARS-CoV-2 avoiding sample dilution

To minimize sample dilution effect on SARS-CoV-2 pool testing, we assessed analytical and diagnostic performance of a new methodology, namely swab pooling, in which swabs are pooled at the time of collection - as opposed to pooling of equal volumes from individually collected samples.
