I received my doctoral training at Washington University in St. Louis focused on deep analysis and integration of high-throughput -omics data obtained at various molecular levels in the service of understanding the fundamental genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that regulate hematopoietic malignancies. I performed in-depth interrogation of the methylomes (WGBS), transcriptomes (RNA-seq and scRNA-seq) and genome-wide chromatin structure of data obtained from mouse models developed to study acute myeloid leukemia (AML) tumorigenesis.
I have also received training in genetic epidemiology and gained several years of experience investigating various complex disorders, traits and diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, metabolic disorders, height and prostate cancer using large, high-visibility epidemiologic study data such as the Nurses Health Study, Health Professionals follow-up study and the Framingham Heart Study. I have extensively contributed to and been named as a co-author in several widely cited publications in the area of cardiovascular genetics in high impact journals. Additionally, I designed and taught on-line SAS and R programming courses through University College, Washington University in St Louis.
I currently work with multiple members of the Baylor College of Medicine Genetics dept., Undiagnosed Disease Network and Scleroderma projects where I provide multi-omics, bioinformatics and statistical genetics support.
