Bio
During my doctoral studies, I trained in innate immunity gaining expertise in high throughput genetic engineering, molecular biology, and immunology. My Ph.D. work focused on the macrophage role in the host response to pathogen infection and sterile inflammation. Moving to Stanford, I set myself to work at the forefront of invention and acquire computational skills. Throughout my postdoctoral fellowship, I have worked with surgical pathologists including Drs. Matt van de Rijn, Rob West, Jeanne Shen, and Christian Schürch and leaders in the field of bioinformatics including Drs. Aaron Newman and Andrew Gentes studying macrophages in solid malignancies. In consequence, I effectively transformed from a wet-lab scientist to a computational biologist with expertise in genomics, image analysis, human pathology, and immunology.
