I am a statistical geneticist working at the intersection of computer science, biostatistics and genetics to develop approaches to solve research bottlenecks and novel ways to visualize and interpret information. In my work, my strengths have been in being able to “think outside the box” and my ability to rapidly synthesize information from diverse fields which has allowed me to keep pace with rapidly evolving technology and target key areas early. My work on novel computational methods and frameworks for prioritization is one of my most significant contributions to science. While these methods were initially applied to precision medicine (cancer), they have wide applicability for target identification and therapeutic prioritization for many complex traits. In 2010, I was selected as a Kavli Frontiers Fellow by the US National Academy of Sciences for my contributions.
