  summary: |-
    As a data scientist in the Childhood Cancer Data Lab of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, I work on a variety of projects related to pediatric cancer. Most of my recent work has been with transcriptomic data, including single-cell RNA sequencing, but I have experience analysing other genomic and epigenomic data as well, and I have recently begun work with analysis of Cell Painting data. My work emphasizes reproducible analyses, mainly using R/Bioconductor and Python, with pipeline development in Nextflow and Snakemake.

    My goals for the jamboree are largely about forming and strengthening connections across the cancer data community, with specific focus on pediatric cancer. I hope to meet potential collaborators, as well as to explore problems outside my usual scope of work. In general, I am hoping to gain a better sense of the challenges that researchers are facing in data analysis, how AI and machine learning are being used to address those challenges, and where I can contribute my own skills most effectively.
