Towards precision medicine

My research connects five threads that most fields keep separate. The first is tumour immunology: the conversation between a cancer and the immune system. The second is spatial biology. I image tissue to see where immune cells sit, how the tumour's scaffold is built, and what that predicts. The third is AI and digital pathology. I build the analysis infrastructure myself, so that a pathology image can become a readout a clinician can trust. The fourth is the clinic, where I design the correlative science that turns tissue from clinical studies into evidence about which patients a treatment will help. The fifth is drug discovery, where I contribute the disease biology to an industry program developing a small-molecule inhibitor for cancer. Each thread informs the others. Better imaging trains better AI. Better biology points to better targets. The clinic tells us which questions matter.
