About Me

🔬 Researcher at Stanford University, CA, USA
🎓 Dual Master’s-trained in Medical Sciences & Biomedical Informatics
💡 Bench-to-Bioinformatics | Biological Data-Driven Problem Solver

Hello! 👋

I am a research professional with 10+ years of experience spanning microbiology, virology, cardiovascular health, and otolaryngology. My background combines hands-on expertise in experimental biology with bioinformatics, allowing me to approach biological questions from both bench and data-driven perspectives.

Currently, I am a Researcher in the DiRenzo Lab within the Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) Department at Stanford University, CA, USA, where my work focuses on elucidating the molecular consequences of tobacco products, including traditional cigarettes and electronic cigarettes on laryngeal health, using experimental models and transcriptomic approaches.

Over the course of my career, I have evolved from a primarily bench-focused researcher into a wet-lab and bioinformatics hybrid, applying R-based workflows to analyze transcriptomic datasets, including microarray, bulk RNA-seq, and single-cell RNA-seq data. I am passionate about bridging experimental biology and bioinformatics to address complex questions in health and disease. By combining biological insight, transcriptomic analysis, and data-driven problem solving, I aim to contribute to translational research, omics-based discovery, and collaborative science.
