Person - Data Scientist Sara JC Gosline

Sara Gosline received BA in Computer Science from Columbia University and spent two years working in software before returning to graduate school full time. She received her Masters and PhD in Computer Science from McGill University with a specialty in Bioinformatics and then moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Biological Engineering with Ernest Fraenkel and Phillip Sharp, focusing on employing computational algorithms to disentangle biological data from cancer and other diseases. 

Since completing her training, she worked at Sage Bionetworks, a non-profit that focuses on accelerating the pace of biomedical research through enabling data sharing and collaboration, where she focused on supporting scientific discoveries in rare disease. She has since become a research scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory where she continues her research on rare disease as well as working with other large molecular datasets, specifically trying to employ novel algorithms in cancer and other diseases.
