I am an Assistant Professor at Duke Univ, in the Depts of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics, and Cell Biology. My research interests broadly lie in the area of computational biology and I'm especially excited about leveraging machine learning to develop precision diagnostics and therapeutics. Towards this, our lab is working to develop methods for diagnosing disease mechanisms, identifying potential drug targets, and designing therapeutic interventions. Among the projects we have ongoing are algorithms for analyzing multimodal single-cell data and inferring regulatory mechanisms. We have also been enamored with the power of protein language models and are using them for predicting protein interactions, drug interactions, and designing antibodies.
