About Me

I am a systems biologist specialised in molecular networks, transcriptomic approaches, and data curation.

Traditionally, toxicological assessments have focused on describing adverse outcomes, while offering little information on the molecular events that lead to said outcomes. A deeper understanding of mechanisms of toxicity may help identify early markers of adverse outcomes,

I am, therefore, keenly interested in connecting molecular events to adverse outcomes by working at the interface of computational and experimental biology.

Projects

Reproductive toxicity testing demands a staggering number of experimental animals. This project aims to develop in vitro tools to alleviate this burden.
