I am a Bioinformatics Engineer at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and an MS Bioinformatics candidate at Johns Hopkins University.
My work sits at the intersection of bioinformatics, computational biology, immunology, and structural biology. I build and improve workflow and analysis pipelines, work with large-scale sequencing data, and use computational methods to study antibodies, epitopes, proteins, and biological systems.
- PhIP-Seq antibody-profiling investigating influence of microbial dysbiosis on humoral immunity in early-onset, late-onset colorectal cancer, and polyp/healthy control cohorts.
- Developing and maintaining computational pipelines for InFlux, a highly multiplexed NGS-based influenza A neutralization assay, analyzing samples to profile humoral immunity across diverse patient cohorts.
