I am an Assistant Professor, co-PI of the Myeloma Computational and Translational Laboratory, and Associate Director of the Myeloma Research Institute at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center – University of Miami. Between 2015 and 2018 as a postdoctoral fellow at the Cancer, Ageing and Somatic Mutation Programme at Wellcome Sanger Institute, directed by Peter J. Campbell, I gained research skills pertinent to this work, most notably in next-generation sequencing data analysis of whole genome, whole exome, RNA, and targeted sequencing. Furthermore, I conducted several genomic investigations on cancer genome evolution and the chronological reconstruction of early and late driver events in hematological cancers. In the last four years, first at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and now at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, my team has modeled and integrated clinical and genomic data to better characterize the pathogenesis and (sub)clonal evolution of hematological malignancies such as multiple myeloma, lymphomas, and therapy-related myeloid neoplasms
