Supervisor: Dr Sarah Teichmann

Andrew Deonarine is completing a PhD in bioinformatics in Sarah Teichmann's group at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology at the University of Cambridge (as a member of Girton College). He is concurrently enrolled in the Clinician Investigator Program at the University of British Columbia (UBC), and is currently a fourth year resident the in Public Health and Preventative Medicine program at UBC. He completed a BSc (biochemistry and chemistry) and MSc (biochemistry) at Western University (Canada), his MD at the University of Toronto (Canada), and also completed an MHSc at UBC during which he researched biomedical ontologies at Stanford University with Mark Musen. Andrew's computational interests include the reconstruction of regulatory networks in immunology, data mining, and extracting meaningful information from next-generation technologies such as RNA-seq data. He also has interests in semantic analysis, text parsing, relational databases, medical informatics, and epidemiology.
