I’m a Senior Scientist at D. E. Shaw Research in NYC, where I use custom supercomputers to develop new medicines to treat human disease.
During my Ph.D. in the Systems Biology program at Harvard, I studied the regulatory logic underlying early germ layer cell fate choices in Sharad Ramanathan’s lab. In that work, we predicted and controlled the decisions of human stem cells.
In my spare time, I enjoy dabbling in science communication. A few years ago, I wrote Systematic: How Systems Biology is Transforming Modern Medicine, a book about systems biology for non-scientists. I also enjoy backpacking, listening to comedy podcasts, and telling stories about the microbiome at cocktail parties.
