• I spend my days consulting with researchers, business development managers and leaders in the life science industry - discussing the obstacles and difficulties they face. I enjoy demonstrating how our software solutions can help overcome these hurdles, speed up data interpretation and ultimately accelerate translation of research into better patient outcomes.

• During this role I analysed and integrated a range of datatypes including whole genome sequencing to determine copy number alterations, exome and custom capture data to identify mutations, their frequency and predicted impact, expression and methylation microarray data and related metadata. I accomplished this analysis using R, bash (to communicate with a High Performance computing cluster) and basic python.
• Processing and curating the data of hundreds of tumour samples required attention to detail and project management skills. While biological interpretation and presentation of the information required abstract thinking, simplification and visualisation of complex ideas.
• I was named first co-author on the research article outlining this work in Cancer Cell Nov. 2017 "Genomic Subtypes of Non-invasive Bladder Cancer with Distinct Metabolic Profile and Female Gender Bias in KDM6A Mutation Frequency"
• Together my skillsets also enabled me to foster collaborations with my peers, supervise and mentor BSc and PhD students.

• During this post-doctoral training. I analysed ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq data generated by the lab. I tested and validated the hypothesis derived from my bioinformatics analysis using in vitro assays such EMSAs, luciferase assays and an in vivo model. This work is published open access in Cell Reports titled "Hippo Signaling Influences HNF4A and FOXA2 Enhancer Switching during Hepatocyte Differentiation"
• Skills developed: MRes project design and supervision, genomic data analysis, distinct datatype integration, wet lab techniques, animal husbandry, collaboration, software testing, conference presentations

• Epigenetic regulation of key developmental genes during blastocyst formation and lineage restriction.
• The manuscript summarising my PhD work was published open access in Development in 2010.
• "Ring1B and Suv39h1 delineate distinct chromatin states at bivalent genes during early mouse lineage commitment" and has been cited over 70 times.
