Computational biologist & systems immunologist. I build multi-omic frameworks to decode immune cell states in cancer, reproductive biology, and human tissue health.
I am the Director of the Bioinformatics Core and Research Scientist at Wayne State University, where I lead computational analysis across translational research programs in immunology, cancer biology, and reproductive medicine. I received my PhD in Molecular Medicine & Genetics from Wayne State in February 2025.
My research integrates single-cell transcriptomics, CITE-seq, spatial genomics, and machine learning to characterize immune cell state transitions across complex biological environments — including pregnancy, inflammation, and cancer. A central focus is macrophage and dendritic cell biology, particularly how these cells govern immune tolerance, immune evasion, and tissue remodeling.
My long-term goal is to build predictive models of immune ecosystem dynamics that inform therapeutic strategies in cancer, reproductive disease, and inflammatory disorders. I am also a committed mentor, having trained 8+ trainees ranging from high school students to resident physicians, and an advocate for DEIA in computational biology.
I welcome collaborations in computational immunology, cancer biology, and reproductive medicine, as well as invitations to speak, consult on multi-omics study design, or discuss opportunities for trainees interested in bioinformatics. Feel free to reach out.
