Since 2009 I have been the Program Manager, Academic Advisor and Adjunct Professor at Tandon Onlines MS in Bioinformatics program. My focus has been in expanding the program in the areas of Next Generation Sequence Analysis and Deep Learning with a focus on personalized medical solutions in Cancer diagnosis and treatment. This lead to my invitation to serve as a visiting Professor at the Zhejiang Institute of Technology in Hangzhou, China from 2012 to 2016. 

Prior to joining Tandon, I spent decades developing a unique skillset that combines genomics and bioinformatics/computational biology at IBM Center for Computational Biology, DNASTAR, Columbia University Genome Center and NIH.

The ability to move seamlessly between the lab bench and a high speed computing environment, has helped me to prepare students for career opportunities in this ever expanding field.
