Bio

I am a computational scientist working to positively impact human health. I am unusually interdisciplinary, having developed deep expertise in biology, functional genomics, human genetics, and machine learning. I am most effective when combining these.

In January I will be joining Cyclana Bio as CTO, where I will lead their computational science.

In the past:

• I have led a machine learning team at Altos Labs in its Institute of Computation, developing large language models for epigenetics.
• I identified novel targets for therapeutic intervention in SLE at Genomics, and developed complete therapeutic stories for them through the combination of my skills.
  • I have returned for a short stint at Genomics to build their gene expression platform in Mystra, and prototype AI agent-based access and analysis of their databases.
• I consulted for bit.bio in the earliest stages of their existence, where I developed gene expression evidence that helped them win their first research grants.
• I pioneered the first analyses of large-scale single-cell RNA-sequencing data during my PhD in John Marioni’s lab.
