About me

My career aim is to develop biomarkers for early detection, diagnosis, and patient stratification of cancer. My background is as a geneticist and bioinformatician, and I am keen to integrate omic and imaging data of multiple types in order to form strong predictive algorithms using machine learning and AI. I am currently a Consultant for Biomarker Strategy in Waltham, MA.

Between my Ph.D. and Masters, I was a board registered Clinical Scientist in the UK. This privileged role provided me with extensive experience handling and storing patient-level samples and data at an ISO15189 level, and generating bioinformatic pipelines robust for the clinic. I now live in the US where the title is not honored, but this knowledge has been invaluable in directing my future research.

In my personal life, I love to be outdoors. At weekends you will find me out hiking, running, and kayaking. The nature here is very different from my home country, and I enjoy learning about it. I regularly practice yoga and pilates and find that it improves my concentration which is a must in the field I work in! Besides that, I love to have my family and friends around me - a dinner party at my home is my favorite evening pastime!
