Background
I am currently studying as a PhD candidate at Queen Mary's Digital Environment Research Institute (DERI) on a project entitled "AI Detection of Druggable Features from High Content Imaging Data". I am applying cutting-edge machine vision algorithmns to study the phenotypic changes captured by microscopy images, with the aim of making AI-led drug development more efficient and effective.

Curriculum Vitae
Before transitioning into the world of Bioinformatics I held a position as Director of Equity Sales at Cowen, a Biotechnology-focused equity research house and investment bank. Prior to that role I gained chartered status as an accountant with KPMG.

I'm a passionate and determined person, focused on executing to my highest capabilities. I left finance to pursue a role with greater positive impact, and believe Bioinformatics can be a force for effective change.
