Overview
I am a bioinformatician with industry and academic experience, currently engaged in research on Parkinson's disease. My work focuses on the analysis of single-cell data and the application of causal modeling techniques to understand cellular and disease states. Through this research, I aim to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in neurological disorders and the development of effective therapeutic strategies. I invite you to explore my research and learn more about my work.
