About me

I am currently a machine learning scientist at Generate Biomedicines, a Flagship Pioneering company. My current efforts center on the application of generative models for protein design.

Previously, I was a bioinformatics scientist at Illumina where I worked to develop computational methods to improve our ability to diagnose cancer using next generation sequencing data.

I completed my PhD studies at UC San Diego, where I applied machine learning techniques to uncover how the genome is read by transcription factors in the macrophage, a critical component of the innate immune system. My thesis work was supervised by Dr. Christopher Glass and Dr. Christopher Benner. The Glass lab is best known for the investigation of how transcription of genome is regulated in the context of the macrophage, a cell that plays key roles in immunity and inflammatory diseases.
