A Bit About Me
As a passionate and dedicated Computational Biologist with a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from UCLA, I specialize in leveraging computational methodologies to unravel complex biological data. My journey in bioinformatics has been fueled by a deep-seated curiosity about the intricate workings of biological systems and a commitment to using this knowledge to advance human health.
​
On this website, I chronicle my adventures in the realm of computational biology and its intersection with human health. You'll find engaging blog posts about the latest scientific discoveries I'm encountering, along with personal experience from my undergraduate years, the challenging yet rewarding path of my bioinformatics PhD at UCLA, and my ongoing experiences as a computational biologist. Tag along as I explore the complexities of computational techniques and biological phenomena, all in the quest to better comprehend disease and improve human health.

Computational Biologist, Sanju Sinha Lab
Sanford Burnham Prebys, La Jolla.
I am currently focusing using computational methodologies, including machine learning techniques, and omics data to unravel the complex relationship between aging and cancer.
Graduate Researcher, Xinshu Xiao Lab
University of California, Los Angeles.
At the Xiao lab, I published significant research on RNA editing dysregulation in neuropsychiatric diseases, mentored students, presented at conferences, and served as the Bioinformatics PhD student representative.
Bioinformatics Intern, Bristol Myers Squib
San Diego
​I applied computational and machine learning tools to predict potential drug responses in B-cell lymphoma and explored the mechanism of action of candidate compounds on cell survival using known gene interaction networks.
Teaching Assistant, Molecular Systems Biology
University of California, Los Angeles.
My responsibilities included giving discussion section lectures, writing quizzes and exams, and adapting all materials to online platforms in response to the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders.
Undergraduate Researcher, Stephen Ramsey Lab
Oregon State University
In the Ramsey Lab, I developed a bioinformatics approach to identify cell-type specific transcription factors by integrating genomic variant data, which resulted in my undergraduate thesis and a research publication.
