My background is in mathematics, with a PhD in statistical genetics. I’m interested in anything computational biology – at the moment, my research is focused on decoding multi-omic single-cell data in the context of complex genetic population structures such as admixture.
Project Jaguar is a coordinated effort in Latin America to map the effects of genetic ancestries on the composition and gene expression regulation of immune cells. Part of the CZI’s multi-ancestry cell atlas, this project will generate a first-of-its-kind map of the genetic effects on gene expression regulation, immune cell composition and regulation of immune response via single cell transcriptomics (sc atlas) across Latin American populations.
