Lady Davis Institute Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Collaborate with internal and external biostatisticians/informaticians working on Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) targeting complex disorders to identify and lead cross-functional project work plans, including identification of resource requirements, and model feasible research programs for identified therapeutic area(s). Write Protocols/amendments, study design – SOP and execute proof of concept experiments.Outcome: Designing and proposing optimal gene therapies based on data from GWAS. Identifying new genetic targets responsible for disease burden in various genetic disorders using CRISPR/Cas9 forward screening.

Princess Margaret Cancer Center, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Developed cell imaging methodologies with ultra high resolution STED and confocal microscopes to validate new metabolic drug targets in cancer cells resulting in development of new protocols.

Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida Area

Trento Area, Italy

I was leading multiple projects to study the role of oncogenes and mutated proteins like p53 in defining diagnostic bio marker profile of breast and lung cancers using techniques like Homology Direct recombination in DNA and CRISPR - Published 2 first author manuscripts, contributed in multiple projects and publications, published in NAR ( IF 16)

Porto, Portugal

Working as a Liaison within European Union 🇪🇺 to lead cross country collaboration for identification of new methodologies to study cancer genome resulting in publication of 2 manuscripts elucidating gene specific functional assays.

Doctor Of Philosophy - Phd, Cancer Biology, Highest Honour Magna Cum Laude

My PhD was about understanding the interactions of major oncogenic proteins like p53 and NFkappaB with genomic (DNA) barcodes to influence.
