Biography
I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit. Currently, I am interested in leveraging omics and healthcare data such as electronic health records to better understand the risk of health outcomes. Prior to joining Cambridge, I obtained my PhD in Biostatistics at University of Washington, where I developed statistical methods for the association analyses of microbiome data, and had consulting experiences in health economics and outcomes research.
