• Education:
  • SB in Mathematics, MIT
  • DPhil in Biochemistry, Oxford University (Marshall Scholarship)
  • MD, Harvard Medical School (Soros Fellow)

Research Interests focus on decoding adaptive immunity through high-throughput sequencing of antibody and T-cell receptor repertoires, applying information theory and network analysis to understand immune dynamics in aging, cancer, and infections. His systems medicine work leverages real-world hospital data to optimize diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.

Scientific Awards include the Reagan-Udall Foundation Grant for accelerating COVID-19 test approval, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Award for BIDMC-UCSF collaboration, and prestigious fellowships like the Marshall Scholarship and Soros Fellowship.

Advising & Grants highlight mentorship of computational biologists and a lab supported by NIH, American Heart Association, Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, and industry partners. His team has developed 3D-printed swabs and machine learning frameworks for immune repertoire analysis during the pandemic.

Lab Structure includes 5–10 members spanning immunologists, computer scientists, and physicians. Collaborations extend to Dr. Rima Arnaout (UCSF), Dr. James Kirby (BIDMC), and institutions like Duke AI Health and Kapa Biosciences.
