I'm a computational biologist at Sarah Teichmann's lab, working with single cell 'omics of immune cells as part of the Human Cell Atlas project.

My postdoctoral project involved the application of systems biology to the study of the immune response to Malaria. To this end I implemented machine learning methods to analyse and integrate data and unveil hidden patterns in the malaria host-pathogen interactions.

My main doctoral project was to analyse genomic variation and its effect of the virulence of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, aethiologic agent of American trypanosomiasis or Chagas' disease, using next generation sequencing (NGS) data. To this end, I combined computational and molecular biology methods to shed light in the genome evolution of this eukaryote. Additionally, I worked with single cell transcriptomic data to analyse clonality in T-cells and single cell genomic variation data for cell lineage tracing of fibroblasts.

I participated in the bioinformatic training of lab members of Prof. Michael Miles group. The training involved comparative genomics and transcriptomics methods for the identification of antigens with the end to develop point-of-care diagnostic tools for parasitic eukaryotes and worms. I also participated
