Obligatory introductory post to find my people! I am an early stage #physicianscientist & #franciscollinsscholar in the #POB at the #NCI #NIH. My research uses #bioinformatics to integrate multi-#omics (#genomics #epigenetics #fragmentomics and #proteomics) primarily in #cfDNA #liquidbiopsy. Goal is to identify and validate #biomarkers in #rarediseases and #cancerpredispositions (focus on #NF1) with translation to the clinic and preclinical platforms (#pdx). Proponent of #openscience.

#introduction: I am a #neuroscience research scientist, studying learning and memory and genetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (#nf1). We do a lot of in vivo imaging and genetic experiments in #Drosophila and human induced pluripotent stem cells (#iPSC). The lab recently moved to the University of #Iowa; we are in Neuroscience and Pharmacology / Pediatrics and the Iowa Neuroscience Institute. Lab web site: https://www.tomchiklab.org.
