  • Research:
    Systems biologist focused on developing the comprehensive computational models that will enable personalized and predictive medicine and rational bioengineering.Focused on highly innovative research and engineering. Experienced in molecular cell biology, computational modeling, software engineering, and scientific visualization. Also interested in teaching and mentorship.

    My career goal is to understand and reverse engineer the complexity of biology to enable (1) personalized and predictive medicine and (2) rational bioengineering. My approach is to develop comprehensive computational models, and to compare model predictions to experimental data. I believe these models are essential to reverse engineering biology.
