Genomics & Medical Genetics Expert | NGS, Variant Interpretation, DNA Methylation, AI in Healthcare

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-trained human and medical geneticist with over 20 years of academic and translational research experience at Stanford, Yale, and internationally. My expertise spans clinical genomics, population-based research, DNA methylation studies, and NGS/variant interpretation. I have led or contributed to major projects on cardiometabolic and reproductive health, with a focus on translating genetic and epigenetic insights into preventive care strategies.

At Stanford’s Center for Population Health Sciences, I contribute to research on maternal-infant health, DNA methylation, and equitable access to genomic education in primary care. I’ve also co-authored a recent publication in npj Digital Medicine (2025) on AI red teaming in healthcare, which reflects my growing focus on safe and inclusive biomedical AI.

I provide consulting services in genomic data interpretation, DNA methylation analysis, cohort study design, scientific writing (including NIH grants), and clinical red teaming of AI systems. My clients benefit from a deep scientific foundation paired with a practical, outcome-driven approach to research and collaboration.
