Explore how Python helps us build open-source workflows and data platforms used in genomic research at Oregon Health & Science University's Knight Cancer Institute. We'll look at the kind of data we see, how it's used, and its role in improving our knowledge and treatment of cancer.

Research Software Engineer at OHSU. Building ETL pipelines, UI, and tooling for genomics and cancer biology data platform!
Hi there! Currently I'm working with Kyle Ellrott's team the "Data Science Garage" at OHSU Knight Cancer Institute harmonizing large scale consortium level Bioinformatics + Biomedicine data into a community standard graph. Over the years I've been applying a multi-disciplinary and systems-level view across a spectrum of data + tools to advance domain knowledge.
In problem-solving, I frequently leverage machine learning to learn representations of data and then utilize them in downstream tasks such as data integration, general modeling, and similarity comparisons.
