I am a PhD student at Edinburgh University, looking to find new treatments for glioblastoma by improving drug profiling. Specifically, I work with high-throughput morphological screens from which I extract biologically interpretable results.

My previous research projects spanned everything from (epi-)genomics, over single-cell analysis to machine-learning. In the process, I investigated DNA fragility, predicted gene pathway defects from genetic scars, and found changes in epigenetic states from single-cell MNase-seq data. Throughout this time I gathered experience in best practices in data science, developed skills in machine-learning, and learned a lot about assessing omics through sequencing.
