Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
I am a Senior Biostatistician at Baylor College of Medicine with over a decade of experience in data analysis and biostatistics. I have a Master of Public Health degree in Biostatistics from UNC Chapel Hill and multiple publications in prestigious journals such as Nature Communications and European Respiratory Journal. My mission is to use my skills and expertise in genomics and population genetics to create health outcomes through actionable biomedical solutions. I am passionate about exploring the influence of viral genomes on clinical outcomes and characterizing the respiratory syncytial virus genome. I have successfully developed genomic investigative tools for both academic and clinical applications, such as a clinical diagnostic analytical tool and an interactive web-based application. I also lead and manage projects that involve collaboration between different disciplines, such as single cell, copy number analysis, genetic signature associations, cancer survival, and SNP association.
* Develop pipeline for viral genomes influence on clinical outcome analysis * Characterization of the respiratory syncytial virus’ genome though private and public data * Statistical analysis methods: bootstrapping, phylogeny, ensemble learning, and mixed model regression
* Project management and statistical analysis for projects: single cell, copy number analysis, genetic signature associations, cancer survival, and SNP association * Clinical diagnostic analytical tool development * Analyses for clinical, RNA-seq, DNA-seq, and microbiome data * Data engineering projects: xenograft alignment and interactive web-based application * Genomic computing using HPC cluster * Statistical analytical methods: regression, power calculations, survival, and odds ratio
* Statistical analyses: microbiome clustering analysis for nonlinear regression clinical outcome modeling and estimation of fold change expression differences in in vitro cell models * Collaborated with investigators to successfully complete grant and paper submissions * Developed tailored, interactive, web applications to aid collaborative data analysis * Statistical analytical methods: k-medoids clustering, silhouette clustering, and nonlinear regression
