Computational biological imaging and data scientist specializing in multi-omics and single-cell translational research.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Computational Biological Imaging and Data Scientist with nine years of experience in multi-omics, single-cell analysis, and biological imaging, focused on translating genomic variants to imaging-derived biomarkers for autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases. I have led large-scale CITE-seq and multi-omics projects, developed AI-enhanced pipelines for scRNA-seq/CITE-seq/TCR/BCR, and built R and Python workflows for MPRA and spatial transcriptomics to accelerate variant interpretation and target identification.
I collaborate cross-functionally with CRISPR teams, pathologists, and translational groups to enable patient stratification and validate biomarkers, contributing to pre-clinical pipelines and Phase I trials. My technical toolkit includes Python, R, TensorFlow/PyTorch, Scanpy, scVI, AWS, Docker, and domain tools such as Cell Ranger, MPRA, GWAS, and eQTL analyses.
