Hi, I’m Kristi! I recently completed my PhD in Systems Biology & Bioinformatics at Case Western Reserve University, where my research focused on exploiting cancer evolution for identifying predictive biomarkers of chemotherapy. I did my dissertation with Jacob Scott (MD, DPhil) at the Cleveland Clinic, where I utilized experimental and computational methods to explore the evolution of drug resistance and sensitivity in cancer, then exploiting these findings to predict drug response and personalize chemotherapy. I’m eager to continue contributing to translational research in oncology or other disease areas through bioinformatics, multi-omic analyses, and statistics. Download my CV.
