Overview
I am a computer science PhD student with a strong interest in overlaps between computational and biological domains of research. I have previous experience with "omic" data analysis using statistical and machine learning techniques where I was involved in annotation for unmapped regions of prokaryotic genomes. Currently, I have a strong interest in precision medicine, which often manipulates large, longitudinal, and multi-sourced datasets in order to provide highly accurate and patient specific diagnoses, prognoses and treatment pathways.
Research
Thesis
Cancer Patient Digital Twins to Investigate Disease Fragmentation and its Impact on Drug Response in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) trials.
My research focuses on implementing cancer patients' digital twins to investigate disease fragmentation and its impact on drug/therapy response in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) trials. This involves the analysis of aggregate AML patient data using machine learning techniques and the implementation of a digital twin system based of time-series based patient information to predict the most effective individual-based treatment strategies for future patients. I'm working as part of the Interdisciplinary Precision Oncology Cardiff Hub (IPOCH, https://ipoch-research.org/).
