Senior Research Scientist (Bioinformatics and computational biology not elsewhere classified)

Harvard School of Public Health

I am a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Biostatistics at HSPH, an Affiliated Faculty member of the HSCI and the Associate Director of the HSPH Bioinformatics Core. I started my research in a molecular biology wetlab environment before switching to natural language processing, database development and curation as part of my PhD thesis, eventually branching out to sequence clustering and pattern recognition as a visiting researcher at deCODE Genetics. My work as a postdoctoral fellow at the South African National Bioinformatics Institute focused on data integration (eVOC ontology), second-generation sequencing analysis and network analysis.
