Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnna Lee is a bioinformatician with 11 years of experience applying machine learning and statistical analysis to genomic and chemogenomic data, currently developing prognostic clinico-molecular biomarkers for localized prostate cancer at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research. She holds a PhD in Computer Science (Bioinformatics) from McGill and has a strong track record in normalization, batch-effect correction, and integrative analysis of copy number, RNA abundance, and sequencing time-course data. Her work spans evaluating mutation-detection tools in crowd-sourced benchmarks and uncovering drug mechanisms and genetic interactions through large-scale data integration. Anna combines hands-on coding (R, statistical methods) with mentoring and lab leadership, having chaired machine learning meetings and supervised students using project tools like Jira. Not obvious from the title: she began her career contributing C and Java software in biomedical and enterprise settings, giving her a rare blend of computational rigor and practical software engineering. Based in Toronto, she bridges academic rigor with translational cancer research to move models toward clinically relevant predictions.
