Angela is the head of computational biology at insitro, working at the forefront of building datasets and ML models to improve understanding of disease mechanisms with the goal to transform drug discovery and development. She is passionate about extracting meaningful information from biomedical datasets and using it to improve disease understanding and drug development. Angela holds a BSc and MSc in Biomedical Engineering and a PhD in Systems Biology. Before moving to insitro, she led the Data Science platform at CZ Biohub. There she made significant contributions for the whole organism cell atlas projects including the first whole mouse cell atlas (Tabula Muris), the first aging cell atlas (Tabula Maris Senis), and Tabula Sapiens, one of the first Human Cell Atlas drafts. She is also a founder and core member of Open Problems in Single Cell, a community effort to improve multimodal data analysis by both generating gold standard datasets and benchmarking metrics and infrastructure.
