Decoding the
non-coding.

I'm a first-year PhD student at the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland, investigating non-coding driver mutations in breast cancer using large-scale genomic datasets including TCGA, ICGC, and ENCODE.

My research applies deep learning and integrative computational approaches—including CNNs, multilayer perceptrons, and Hidden Markov Models—to identify functional variants in regulatory elements and uncover novel therapeutic vulnerabilities.

I completed my B.Sc. in Genetics and Cell Biology at Dublin City University with First Class Honours, ranking 2nd in my cohort and earning a place on the Dean's Honours List.
