Leading a team of data scientists and engineers, applying AI/ML to accelerate drug discovery and development

I led a group of computational biologists at Adaptive's Antigen Map Project, a partnership with Microsoft, developing cutting edge statistical and machine learning models to investigate the T cell adaptive immunity in health and disease.As the leader of the program, I worked with stakeholders of the partnership to develop scientific vision, create programmatic roadmap, align goals and strategies, and oversee research operations.Through computational modeling of tens of thousands of human T cell repertoires containing billions of T cell receptors, we identified disease-specific molecular signatures with therapeutic, biomarker and diagnostic value. Disease areas include multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, Celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis.In addition to driving R&D, I had the opportunity to develop my team through initiating scientific seminar series with academic KOLs, coaching my team on professional development, publication strategies and career development
