About me - Blending biology with computation
I believe that the future of biomedical discovery lies in the application of novel computational techniques to unravel complex biological data.
I am an MD/PhD student at UCSD MSTP. I am advised by Dr. Rob Knight through the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology program, and I am interested in advancing clinical diagnostics and therapeutics through the convergence of informatics, imaging, and artificial intelligence.
The genomic revolution promises to transform medicine and biology, but only if we can make sense of the vast amounts of data we are generating. I'm principally motivated to develop and apply computational methods to make sense of this data and translate it into actionable insights for patients and clinicians.
