What are your long-term career objectives?

“I am broadly trained as a computational biologist and bioinformatician with over six years of experience in cancer transcriptomics. My current research focuses on investigating mechanisms of cancer immune evasion particularly related to the dysregulation of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes. Looking ahead, my long-term goal is to establish an independent research group that uses computational biology to study cancer immunology. Specifically, my focus is to improve clinical outcomes for immunotherapy-treated cancer patients employing bioinformatics techniques and large-scale datasets. Similarly, I aim to mentor the next generation of bioinformaticians to collaborate with clinical scientists and act as key liaisons in the field of translational oncology and cancer immunology.”

Abstract #860: Pan-tissue master regulator inference reveals mechanisms of MHC alterations in cancers.
