A computational biologist

About

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Marjorie Brand’s lab in Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, after gaining a PhD degree by studying in Dr. Mohan Babu’s group, University of Regina. In light of the deluge of omics data in life sciences, my research interests focus on computational approaches in systems biology including developing gene expression database, Bioconductor R package. My recent publication revealed rewiring the mitochondrial interactome during neurogensis using both biochemical fractionation proteomics and single cell RNA-seq.
