Description: Computational biologist at UC San Diego and Seattle Children's Research Institute.
LinkedIn Google Scholar GitHub I am a postdoc in the Palmer Lab at UC San Diego and in the PejLab at Scripps Research . I use computational approaches to study genomic regulatory variation. I am using gene expression to better understand genetic associations with psychiatric traits. I set up and manage the RatGTEx Portal . I am also developing tools for extracting information from RNA-Seq data.
I received my PhD in Quantitative and Computational Biology from Princeton University, advised by Mona Singh . My research involved amino acid substitution impact ( DeMaSk ), cancer mutations in zinc finger domains, and linking gene expression with tissue morphology. As an undergraduate at the University of North Texas, I majored in Biology and conducted computational microbiome research with Qunfeng Dong.
