WORK HISTORY
Phd Candidate in Medical Biophysics @University Health Network
CA
I work at the intersection between computer science and biology. In my current research, I use software to analyze the DNA sequence of people with blood cancer. I’m working to better understand if regular blood can act as a ‘back door’ to a tumour. This involves seeing if DNA from a tumour can be detected in the blood and analyzed accurately. If my research is successful, it will contribute to the development of less invasive, more affordable, and more accurate future tests for monitoring blood cancers.Asides from my research, I also act as a teaching assistant to courses in computer science, statistics and genetics.

ABOUT DORY ABELMAN
I work at the intersection between computer science and biology. In my current research, I analyze the DNA sequence of people with blood cancer. I’m working to better understand if regular blood can act as a ‘back door’ to a tumour. This involves seeing if DNA from a tumour can be detected in the blood and analyzed accurately. This \'fingerprint\' may be able to guide treatment decisions and enable earlier detection. If my research is successful, it will contribute to the development of less invasive, more affordable, and more accurate future tests for monitoring blood cancers.Asides from my research, I also act as a teaching assistant to courses in computer science, statistics and genetics.
