I build AI and multi-omics models that turn biomedical data into disease insights.
What I'm looking for
I've developed deep learning and spatial analysis pipelines at Karyon Bio and AstraZeneca, integrating imaging and multi-omics data to identify disease biomarkers and improve disease classification.
During my UKRI-funded iCASE PhD at the Institute of Cancer Research in partnership with AstraZeneca, I built a multimodal deep learning model and led development of a spatial analysis pipeline application that improved image-analysis efficiency and enabled broader organisational adoption.
My work spans computational biology, bioinformatics, statistical modelling, and pharmaceutical research, with four peer-reviewed publications in computational biology and AI-driven disease modelling. I also enjoy translating technical work into clear insights, teaching coding and machine learning, and leading cross-functional projects.
