Talk to me about… your research
I have over 22 years of experience in leading computational biology teams focused on pre-clinical and clinical drug discovery in GlaxoSmithKline. My areas of expertise include the role of the microbiome in infectious, metabolic and respiratory diseases, host-pathogen interactions, and cancer. I have over 100 scientific publications and have contributed to several academic and non-profit advisory boards including NIH panels. I also mentored several students and post-doctoral fellows.
Talk to me about…something people may not know about you
Originally from Canada, my undergraduate and graduate degree research work concerned marine biology, aquaculture, fish population genetics and the universal tree of life.
