Biography

I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge, followed by an MSc in Systems Biology. During my Master's degree, I worked in prof Jerzy Paskowski's lab at the Sainsbury laboratory in Cambridge. Supervised by dr. Marco Catoni and dr. Hajk Drost, I developed a predictive model of epigenetic methylation return in A. thaliana. This sparked my interest in the identification of general patterns that go beyond a specific condition, cell type, or even organism. I believe that the power of modern-day computational approaches can be harnessed to push biology to a more general and formalised way of thinking. I am currently working with dr. Irina Mohorianu as a research assistant at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, developing pipelines for the analysis of diverse types of data. I am interested in the identification and characterization of gene regulatory networks, and trying to draw conclusions from recurrent motifs that can be observed in seemingly unassociated circumstances.
