Brief bio: I recently started working as a Research Scientist at Janssen’s Research & Development. Prior to that, I was working as a Senior Data Scientist at IQVIA in clinical trial realm leading data-driven solutions ranging from physician and patient recruitment to forecasting cost of clinical trials using real-world healthcare data (i.e., EHR, Rx, Dx, Citeline, ClinicalTrials.gov, CTMS, etc.) leveraging AI/ML approaches. I have an undergraduate and master’s degree in Computer Science from Delaware State University. I received my Ph.D. in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology from University of Delaware (in 2019), where I utilized multi-modal genomics data and ML techniques to identify and characterize small RNAs responsible for plant reproduction.
