Abstract Title Project Seeker
Abstract My expertise is primarily in the analysis and integration of multiple types of NGS data. In my graduate studies, I integrated RNAseq, ATACseq, and CRISPRKO screen data to interrogate the distinct impacts of two different mutations of the PIK3CA gene in breast cancer. In my post doc, I continued this line of work by integrating DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing of dozens of sarcoma patients to define new molecular definitions of sarcoma subtypes. In my current role, I serve a variety of projects across NIAID and have broadened my skill set to include the analysis of single cell data sets including scRNA and scATAC-seq data. I also have some experience in the development of machine learning models.

For this data jamboree, I want to return to making an impact on the research subject matter that I am most passionate about. I care deeply about cancer research and my career goal is to expand treatment options for all cancer patients, especially those with rarer forms of the disease. I am excited to contribute to any project that I can, and I believe my broad bioinformatic expertise should allow me to contribute to a number of different kinds of projects.

My goals for the this jamboree are to apply my skills to new challenges and to meet like minded researchers in the cancer research space. I also want to learn from others at the event with regards to current trends in cancer research and different techniques of data analysis.
