About
Hello! I am a Bioinformatician with a Biochemistry background focused on applying AI to advance health research. After over a decade in academic research and 3 years in Bioinformatics, I’ve grown to appreciate the synergy between science and technology. Currently, I’m exploring polygenic risk scores and how AI can be employed to improve breast cancer predictive models in African populations. I’m deeply passionate about this work because most current risk models don’t generalize well in underrepresented populations and I believe that everyone deserves access to better, more accurate healthcare, regardless of their background. Occasionally, I share my bioinformatics journey on LinkedIn to help others in a similar position find their way into the field.
