Curriculum vitae

Bioinformatics Scientist II

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia · Division of Genomic Diagnostics, Translational Bioinformatics · Philadelphia, PA

• Develop and clinically translate methods for structural and copy-number variant detection in clinical genome sequencing, working with clinical geneticists and genetic counselors to improve diagnostic yield in rare pediatric disease.
• Built the bioinformatics function for CHOP's Undiagnosed Disease Program and co-designed its automated case workflow (data intake, DRAGEN processing, Emedgene prioritization) with the Arcus informatics team.
• Contribute to multi-omic and long-read diagnostic studies, including a genome–transcriptome re-analysis of Cornelia de Lange syndrome (npj Genomic Medicine 2026) and the WAFL long-read workflow (ACMG 2026 oral).

Associate Data Scientist

MD Anderson Cancer Center · Houston, TX

• Led the computational analysis of exceptional responders to immune checkpoint inhibitors in renal cell carcinoma, integrating exome and RNA-seq data (Nature Cancer 2025, co-first author).
• Designed and validated pipelines to quantify human endogenous retrovirus expression from short- and long-read RNA-seq and applied them to lymphoma cohorts.
• Benchmarked long-read sequencing methods for isoform characterization, structural variant detection and antigen discovery.

Bioinformatics Analyst

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute · Boston, MA

• Led the cross-trial validation of renal cell carcinoma molecular subtypes between two phase III trials using a random-forest classifier (Cancer Cell 2024, co-first author).
• Analyzed exome and RNA-seq data from more than 2,000 patients across clinical-trial cohorts and public datasets (TCGA, PCAWG).
• Containerized published pipelines and deployed them with WDL and Snakemake on GCP/FireCloud and AWS.

Computational Biology Co-op

Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research · Respiratory Disease Area · Cambridge, MA

• Ran differential expression and pathway enrichment analyses on time-course gene expression data from mouse models of cigarette smoke exposure, characterizing acute versus chronic response.
• Compared these signatures with COPD patient data to assess translational relevance and inform indication expansion for existing drugs.
• Built an interactive Spotfire dashboard for translational and drug discovery scientists to explore results.
