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 facial biomarker pipelines using ViT-based transfer learning for AI-derived biomarkers of aging and longevity. FacePhenoAge: fine-tuned FAHR-FaceAge predict PhenoAge, a 9-biomarker laboratory biological age marker, from facial photographs.
Developed and deployed the FaceAge website — a clinical research platform for two IRB-approved studies collecting facial photographs and running ViT-based biological age estimation. Tech stack: Flask/Gunicorn, Nginx, Docker (5-container orchestration), Redis/RQ, SQLite. Features: e-consent with PDF generation, bcrypt authentication with account lockout and session management, webcam/file photo upload, FaceAge processing and inference pipeline, asynchronous job processing (scheduler → worker pipeline), REDCap and Dropbox integration for HIPAA-compliant data and photo storage. Security hardening: (HTTPS/TLS, Flask-Talisman CSP/HSTS, CSRF protection, rate limiting, input validation and sanitation). All while coordinating simultaneous IRB and IT requirements across MGB infrastructure.
Engineered multi-stage pipelines for cohort curation, data harmonization, 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 managed recruitment, consent, and administration of screening tools for the interventional Lung-GAP (DFHCC 25-009) 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
