Discovery (Biological & Genetic Mechanisms)

As a data scientist I value advancements that provide more data to dissect and discover. However, as a biologist I know that it is essential to have a deep understanding of the underlying biology to gain deep insights about the value of this data. With a decade of experience on the bench and five years of experience behind the screen I hope to bring the two together to advance medical research.
