Current Role
Current Role
I provide support for NCI implementation of data sharing efforts across NCI divisions, offices, and centers. I serve as a genomic program administrator (GPA). As a GPA, I process data access requests and develop metric reports. I also conduct various analyses, including landscape analysis across NCI resources and support optimization and streamlining efforts. Borrowing from my expertise in neuroscience, cancer research, and computing-related technologies has allowed me to sit on various working groups, including Future Tech Trends, Trans-NIH Data Sharing, and Trans-NCI Artificial Intelligence.
