Scientist, Genetics and Genome Biology Program, at SickKids Research Institute
Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science (status only), at University of Toronto (Computational Biology Group)
My main research focus is to develop machine learning methods that can help to decipher human disease heterogeneity. This involves combining data from multiple heterogeneous sources while addressing missing data and noise, simultaneous subtyping and feature selection in very sparse settings and more. Our contributions to machine learning include novel graph-based unsupervised feature selection methods and graphical models for subtyping in GWAS. We collaborate with clinicians to ensure that our work is relevant in the clinic.

2014 at a glance: Nature Methods paper published (March) and recognized as one of the 3 most influential papers at a Networks meeting at ISMB (July); 3 years at SickKids; talks at MIT LL, Harvard, Broad, Dana Farber, etc; thesis opponent in Finland; Outliers (our lab’s team) winning community phase of the RA DREAM challenge. Thanks to my fantastic lab, I’m having a blast!
