I am a computational biologist motivated by the applications of machine learning and artifical intelligence to the field of biology.

I did my PhD in the groups of John Marioni (EMBL-EBI, now at Genentech) and Oliver Stegle (EMBL & DKFZ), followed by a short postdoctoral stay in the group of Wolf Reik at the Babraham Institute. I developed methods for single-cell and multi-omics data integration, the most popular one being MOFA. I also worked on generating data resources in the context of embryonic development. Some examples are the single-cell multi-modal atlases of mouse gastrulation and early organogenesis.

Currently, I am working as a Senior Scientist at Altos Labs in the AI/ML team led by Thore Graepel, where I work on modelling gene perturbation screenings to characterise the regulatory networks that underlie cellular rejuvenation programming.

I am a strong advocate of open and reproducible science. If you are interested in my work please check my GitHub page, which includes code to reproduce many of the results from our publications.
