Computational biology and bioinformatics research focused on tuberculosis susceptibility, immunogenetics, and population genomics at UC Davis
Built case-control assignment algorithm utilizing clinical, behavioral, and self-report data from over 50 variables. Implemented Random Forest and Logistic Regression models to predict active tuberculosis progression in 1000+ patients from rural South African clinics.

Take the Quiz🎯My research directly contributes to understanding tuberculosis susceptibility in genetically diverse populations. By developing computational methods and analyzing multiomic datasets, I aim to identify biomarkers that could lead to earlier detection and more personalized treatment approaches. This work has implications not only for TB management but also for advancing precision medicine approaches in underrepresented populations globally.
