I am responsible for leading a team of Computational Biologists and Bioinformatics Software Engineers who develop, maintain, and operate bioinformatics pipelines and databases in the . We also perform collaborative research with other labs and clinicians both within MSKCC and in the broader research community. On a daily basis, we analyze blood samples from patients with tissue-based cancers, using patients’ circulating tumor DNA extracted from blood, avoiding the need for tumor biopsies. More specifically, I lead the team in designing, developing, and implementing software tools for processing and analyzing high throughput, next-generation sequencing data, specifically for liquid biopsy applications ( & Clonal Hematopoiesis Panel). Previously in my time as MSK, I helped develop the workflow to analyze data for both clinical and research implementation, which is still being used.

I am a Computational Biologist as part of the Center of Molecular Oncology Informatics cfDNA group. I am responsible for the development of new and existing tools, maintaining the cfDNA pipeline, and processing samples for both clinical and research work. Previously, I have worked at the NHS trust Cambridge University Hospitals as a Bioinformatician with primary responsibility for the development of the Hemato-Oncology clinical assay.
