About

My research sits at the nexus between bioimaging, proteomics, and artificial intelligence. I focus on understanding how proteins are organized within human cells and how this subcellular wiring remodels over time. By studying these patterns, I aim to build spatial models of human cells that help us understand how differences in protein levels can affect cell function and contribute to disease. I an advocate for open science and have a strong interest in science communication, both to scientific audiences and the general public through innovative media.
