プロフィール概要

I am a computational evolutionary biologist and bioinformatician with expertise spanning molecular evolution, viral genomics, metagenomics, and machine learning–driven predictive biology. My research focuses on understanding and forecasting how viruses, microbes, and cancers evolve across molecular, ecological, and planetary scales. I am currently a Postdoctoral Associate at Weill Cornell Medicine and serve as Executive Director and Director of Bioinformatics for the MetaSUB Consortium, a global initiative mapping microbial and viral diversity across more than 200 cities.
