Hi! I have a PhD from Imperial College London, where my research focused on advanced CRISPR-based genetic engineering for vector control (mosquitoes). Following my PhD, I worked as a Research Analyst at Biocentis, an Imperial spin-out, leading molecular biology efforts in the development and commercialisation of genetic control for pest species. During these years, I also developed an interest in Data Science and AI and completed a couple of professional certifications that gave me an understanding of how AI can be employed in scientific research. Currently, as an MSCA fellow, I am leading the AI-EvoYeast project. The goal of the project is to transform the natural genomic instability of polyploid S. cerevisiae into an engineering asset. By combining product-coupled Adaptive Laboratory Evolution (ALE) with interpretable AI/ML models, I aim to create a predictive platform that accelerates the development of albumin-hyperproducing strains for sustainable food.
