I gained my PhD in Chemical Physics from University College London, U.K. and subsequently continued working on the classical and ab initio simulation of condensed phase matter as a Post Doctoral Research Associate. After moving to the University of California, San Diego as a Post Doctoral Research Scholar my atomistic simulation work continued, pursuing methods to integrate machine learning and protein modelling techniques. These were applied to investigate chromodomain-peptide interactions and further to design small molecule inhibitors for the HIV-1 protease. During this time, and subsequently as Project Scientist, my research expanded to primarily focus on the development of mathematical models for gene regulation such as Bayesian network models to theoretically manipulate cell-state in silico and epigenetic/transcriptomic integrative graph-based models of transcriptional regulation. I currently head our computational lab at the Kai Autoimmunity Institute, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles.
