About

As the Executive Director of Science at Ardigen, I lead the scientific efforts to leverage bioinformatics, data science, and artificial intelligence in drug discovery. With over a decade of experience in the life sciences industry, I have developed a strong track record of mentoring cross-functional teams, delivering innovative solutions, and building successful partnerships with both academic and industrial stakeholders. My focus is on target discovery and validation, where I use AI-enabled models to predict and validate novel drug targets. Some of my key achievements include driving the transformation of Ardigen towards a bioinformatics and AI-centered approach, and leading the development of the Gene Regulation Platform and the Target Discovery and Validation Platform. In my previous roles, including as Director of Bioinformatics at Ardigen and as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, I have consistently demonstrated leadership in project management, strategic partnerships, and innovation. I have led interdisciplinary teams, managed high-impact projects, and integrated advanced technologies into scientific workflows. My background also includes significant experience in bioinformatics development, high-performance computing, and next-generation sequencing data analysis, which I utilized to support drug discovery and development. My academic background includes a PhD in Bioinformatics from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, a Master's in Applied Bioinformatics from Cranfield University, and a Bachelor's in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Huddersfield.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
