Team

My team collaborates closely with the Blewitt, Asselin-Labat, Sutherland, Naik, and Hilton laboratories at the Institute. We use and develop advanced computational algorithms to analyse genome-wide data.

We welcome enquiries from individuals with a computational background (statistics, mathematics, computer science) interested in applying their skills to medical research.
