About Me
I am an assistant professor at the Université de Montréal faculty of pharmacy and researcher at the CHU Sainte-Justine Azrieli research centre. I'm also an associate academic member at Mila. Contact me if you are considering graduate studies and think we have overlapping interests!
My main expertise is in bioinformatics, statistical genetics and genetic epidemiology. Most of my previous work was on studying mutations in drug target genes to predict the effect of drugs at the population level. My broader research interest include the application of machine learning to healthcare in general, and more specifically applications in causal inference including further work on Mendelian Randomization.
I keep an up-to-date list of my publications on Google Scholar.
