Molecular and computational biologist, and firm believer in the power of novel technologies and big-data to drive forward our understanding of human disease processes and healthcare discovery pipelines. It's an incredible time to be a biologist. High throughput technologies that 10 years ago were either in their infancy or non-existent are driving forward both fundamental and applied research at a phenomenal pace. Indeed, the traditional boundary between these two facets of research science is being eroded as gene editing, stem cell, sequencing and high throughput technologies move fundamental research closer to the patient and clinic. We can better identify and understand human diseases ranging from cancer to neurological disorders across many levels using a combination of genetic, fun
