Summary
Octavio Palacios is a Senior Scientist in Computational Oncology with nine years of experience translating multi-omics and clinical data into actionable insights for immunotherapy development. At AstraZeneca he leads analysis of internal trials and real-world data, builds R/Shiny tools for multimodal visualization, and integrates LLM-driven workflows to accelerate translational decision-making. His background as a PhD researcher in epigenetics and immunology informs deep expertise in bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, DNA methylation, and bioinformatics package development.
