About

I’m a computational biologist interested in understanding how genetic and cellular variation shape human complex traits and disease. I am an EMBO and Helen Hay Whitney post-doctoral fellow in the Pritchard Lab at Stanford University and a visiting fellow in the Marson Lab at the Gladstone Institutes.

Previously, I did my PhD at the University of Cambridge, working between the groups of Sarah Teichmann at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and John Marioni at the EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute. My PhD research focused on developing methods for detection of disease-associated cells in scRNA-seq data, and applying them to understand immune cell variation in health and disease.

My work relies on open science, sharing of resources and know-how. I am part of the core team of the scverse consortium of foundational tools for analysis of omics data in life sciences, where I work on community outreach and events.
