Postdoctoral Scientist @Barts Cancer Institute Queen Mary University Of London

London, GB

Developed custom pipelines for efficient annotation of genomic and transcriptomic data on a high-performance cluster (HPC), enabling annotation of over primary and metastatic tumors, streamlining large-scale cancer genomics research.• Expanded a machine-learning-based framework for sample-level prediction and quantification of altered cancer genes from multi-omic data, allowing identification of patient-specific driver mutations and uncovering cancer-driving genes within large amplifications, which were previously undetectable.• Led experimental validation of in silico predicted cancer genes in cancer cell lines using overexpression plasmids, collaborating with wet-lab scientists and bridging computational predictions with biological confirmation.• Mentored an MSc student in cancer genomics, providing training in computational analysis and research methodologies, contributing to their successful thesis completion.• Managed and maintained the Network of Cancer Genes (NCG) database, ensuring data accuracy and accessibility for the cancer genomics community, supporting researchers worldwide.• Served as an ad hoc reviewer for iScience, Genome Medicine, and Computers in Biology and Medicine, providing critical evaluation of manuscripts and contributing to the quality and integrity of peer-reviewed research.
