Work Background
OneThree BiotechSenior Computational Biologist
Jun. 2022I led cross-disciplinary teams in genomics and machine learning, focusing on developing predictive models for drug discovery and DNA regulation. I played a pivotal role in fostering strategic partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, and foundations, and was instrumental in integrating advanced data engineering techniques to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of biological data analysis and gene annotation. My key projects included co-developing a machine learning model to identify novel biological targets in infectious diseases, orchestrating a genomics research strategy for a cancer patient-focused project, pioneering a generative AI research line for DNA regulation, and co-directing the research-engineering strategy for biological datasets on the Atlantis platform.
Climate Change AIDirector of Operations
Oct. 2021 - Oct. 2022As Director of Operations, I oversaw daily organizational activities and collaborated with chair-level management to set performance goals and long-term operational plans, resulting in enhanced administrative processes and performance. I led the first edition of the summer school's flagship project, managing a 50+ person team committee. I developed an extensive online curriculum comprising lectures and tutorials, specifically tailored to teach Machine Learning applications in the context of climate change.
NYU School of Professional StudiesAdjunct Professor Statistical Methods
Jan. 2019 - Dec. 2021Greater New York City AreaPrepared syllabus for the course “Statistical Methods,” graded assessments, developed exams and quizzes, delivered lectures, engaged students with multimedia presentations, and encouraged applied learning with individual small data science projects.
Cold Spring Harbor LaboratoryPostdoctoral researcher (Computational Biology)
Oct. 2013 - Jun. 2022Cold Spring Harbor, New York, United StatesHere, I co-led an NSF-funded multi-institutional project on the climate change survival mechanisms of gymnosperm "Living Fossils." This involved coordinating genome sequencing and computational processing among research groups in the US and Australia, leading to a pre-print publication. I developed a comparative genomics pipeline for gene prioritization in cancer-resistant mammals, translated findings to murine models, and collaborated with notable institutions for a publication in Genome Biology & Evolution. Additionally, I worked on genomic analysis of flatworm regeneration mechanisms, resulting in a PNAS publication, and created computational pipelines for gene family classification in various genomes, leading to a publication in G3.
University of St AndrewsResearch Assistant
Jan. 2012 - Dec. 2012St. Andrews, Scotland, United KingdomI designed a database to store and access a time series of biodiversity and other ecological datasets to study the effects of climate change on biodiversity. This project led to a consortia paper.
University of St AndrewsPHD Student
Apr. 2009 - Apr. 2013St. Andrews, Scotland, United KingdomFormulating the Ghost loci hypothesis was a key achievement, involving genome-wide synteny analyses of basal animal genomes to uncover alternative evidence for genome losses, culminating in a publication in Current Biology. My work in homeobox classification and genome annotation in Strigamia maritima, the first centipede genome, garnered significant attention, including a feature on the cover of PLoS Biology and media coverage. Additionally, collaborations with Dr. Detlev Arendt's Lab at EMBL, Heidelberg, and Dr. Maja Adamska's Lab at SARS, Bergen, enriched my research experience, leading to significant contributions in the field, highlighted by a publication in Nature and a feature in News and Views.
