WORK HISTORY
Grad Researcher Assistant @City of Hope
Directed by Dr. David Craig• Developed and implemented a novel deep learning method for multi-modal data integration, including histopathological images and spatial transcriptomics profiles, to predict gene expression at spot-level resolution and identify novel clusters and key molecular drivers in aggressive cancers such as glioblastoma and triple-negative breast cancer.• Designed Bioconductor tools using spatial transcriptomics and statistical modeling to quantify spatial dependencies between cell types in triple-negative breast cancer, revealing key differences in the tumor microenvironment between African American and Caucasian patients.
