What I'm looking for

I am looking for a position where I can be involved in using actionable intelligence from precision medicine to enhance clinical outcomes or inform therapeutic development.

I am a multidisciplinary expert in the biomedical sciences with professional experience in various basic and clinical disciplines, ranging from clinical anatomy, developmental biology, neuroscience, cell molecular biology and computational biology. I have successfully led the development of high quality bioinformatics pipelines for scientific and clinical use as well as optimizing analytical pipelines in a regulated environment (CAP & CLIA). I am interested in bioinformatics/computational biology roles in a clinical translational setting.
