Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
As Head of Translational Research at the Precision Medicine Unit, Biomedical Data Science Center, CHUV, I work to improve healthcare through data-driven research. My approach connects genetic research with clinical practice, developing predictive risk models, diagnostics, and personalized treatment strategies. With a PhD bridging bioinformatics and infectious diseases, I apply computational methods to extract meaningful insights from genetic and clinical data. My work spans clinical genetics and precision medicine, with a focus on transforming complex biological information into actionable clinical knowledge. Most recently at ESMO 2024, I presented and discussed our research on predicting endocrine immune-related adverse events using polygenic risk scores. I am committed to interdisciplinary collaboration, managing diverse international research projects that drive innovation in precision medicine.
My PhD work included among other things, full analyses of genotyping data, whole genome and exome sequencing data. Imputation and fine mapping of HLA alleles as well as the development of polygenic risk scores.
In charge of analysing suPAR in blood samples (e.g. HIV, HCV, TB & sepsis), as well as a research project with a general practitioner. Ad-hoc production, QC and QA of the suPARnostic© ELISA assay. Training of several bio and MD students. Carrying through clinical research studies in Guinea-Bissau and Atlanta, USA.
