Making sense of biological data

Biomedical data scientist working across neurodevelopment, immuno-oncology, and drug discovery. This site collects the tools, research, and open-source projects behind that work.

The work centers on integrating transcriptomics, metabolomics, and genomics data to understand disease mechanisms and evaluate treatment options. Recent projects are in pediatric neurodevelopment.

Methods — multi-omics integration, NGS & variant analysis, machine learning, and systems-biology modeling.

Selected work

Neurodevelopmental data analysis

Multi-omics analysis of preterm-birth effects on brain development, with behavioral phenotyping in mouse models using DeepLabCut and B-SOiD.

Immuno-oncology & precision medicine

Cancer-genomics analysis across 500+ cell lines and immune-pathway interactions to identify therapeutic targets and biomarkers of treatment response.

Predictive disease modeling

Pathway models for autoimmune disease and cancer therapeutics, validated against patient data — the basis for two granted drug-repurposing patents.

Open-source scientific tools

MyVivarium, an open-source platform for managing research animal colonies (first author, CSBJ 2025), plus the browser-based tools above.
