Work experience
Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA — October 2024 - Present
Research Assistant II - Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) Lab
Conducted large-scale genomic and clinical analyses (GWAS, AI-driven clinical phenotyping) across MGB Biobank, radiation oncology, healthy volunteer, and geriatric cohorts.
Built and deployed facial biomarker pipelines (FaceAge, FacePhenoAge, FaceSurvival) using ViT-based transfer learning with leakage-free validation and external cohort testing to advance AI-derived biomarkers of aging and longevity.
Developed a Flask-based web app with REDCap/Dropbox integration, secure photo pipelines, Dockerized deployment, and background task orchestration.
Engineered multi-stage pipelines for cohort curation, data harmonization (labs, dose metrics, temporal alignment), and automated REDCap/Dropbox workflows supporting clinical research.
Authored and revised IRB protocols, consent forms, and operational documentation; independently managed 7 IRB-approved protocols across MGB and the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center.
Initiated and independently managed recruitment, consent, and administration of screening tools for the interventional Lung-GAP trial in geriatric lung cancer patients (NCT06987890 ).
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA — July 2023 - October 2024
Biospecimen Coordinator - Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG)
Directed research study teams in implementing optimal patient sample collection methods from Cross Sectional Interventional Radiology, ensuring strict adherence to IRB protocols in clinical settings over hundreds of collections
Developed creative solutions and facilitated key discussions during committee meetings to establish sample inventory processes and standard operating procedures for seven CCG projects
Developed and managed extensive specimen databases for collaborators, providing access to hundreds of fields of data and facilitating new scientific insights
