Develop and deploy both classical data science and cutting-edge ML methods to analyze data from diverse ‘omic modalities, including transcriptomic and imaging data, addressing challenges such as distribution shift, experimental artifacts, data sparsity, and more.

Work with lab colleagues to design experiments that generate datasets that are fit for purpose for machine learning, including ones generated explicitly for training ML models.

Mentor and guide the computational team, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.

Establish partnerships with academic institutions and other third parties to stay abreast of emerging technologies and models.

Foster a collaborative environment, working closely with R&D leaders and program heads to ensure seamless integration of computational tools with experimental workflows.
