What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth in data-driven research.

I am a passionate computational biologist currently serving as an Associate Research Scientist at the Taub Institute, Columbia University. My work focuses on leveraging advanced data science techniques to decode complex biological phenomena, particularly in neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. With a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and extensive experience in bioinformatics, I have developed a strong foundation in utilizing big data to uncover insights that can lead to novel therapeutic strategies.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to significant research projects, including the identification of differentially expressed genes related to Alzheimer’s disease and the exploration of genetic factors influencing psychiatric disorders. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my academic achievements, including multiple Dean’s List honors at Arizona State University, where I am pursuing a B.S. in Data Science. I am dedicated to continuous learning and applying my knowledge to real-world challenges in medicine and biology.
