My current work focuses on building predictive models for cardiovascular outcomes by integrating plasma lipid measurements, genomic information, and clinical risk factors to advance precision medicine in cardiovascular health.
Originally trained as an immunologist and molecular biologist, I earned my PhD from the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute. My strong interest in quantitative approaches to biology, health, and disease led me to specialise in Biostatistics and Bioinformatics.
I have worked on diverse projects, including applying causal inference methods to longitudinal cohort studies and developing computational biology techniques to extract biologically meaningful signals from gene expression atlases.
