Overview
I am interested in developing approaches to derive biological insight from multi-omics and biological "big" data. My areas of interest include aging, stem cell biology, and cancer. I also have a strong interest in teaching and developing novel curricula, and am an active member of Duke's +Data Science and Center for Computational Thinking.

Journal Article Cell Rep · March 26, 2024 An intriguing effect of short-term caloric restriction (CR) is the expansion of certain stem cell populations, including muscle stem cells (satellite cells), which facilitate an accelerated regenerative program after injury. Here, we utilized the MetRSL274 ...

Journal Article Clin Chem · March 2, 2024 BACKGROUND: Lipid profiling is central for coronary artery disease (CAD) risk assessment. Nonadherence or unreported use of lipid-lowering drugs, particularly statins, can significantly complicate the association between lipid profile measures and CAD clin ...
