Phyllis Lam
BSc, MBINF
Data Quality Analyst, GEMINI
My role with the GEMINI team:
I’m currently a data quality analyst where my main responsibility is to ensure data is clean and ready for downstream processing and research.
My educational background:
I received my bachelor of science from the University of Waterloo majoring in biotechnology and economics and my master’s of bioinformatics from the University of Guelph.
My past experience and accomplishments:
During my master’s, I had the opportunity to do research at a Toronto-based drug discovery company called Cyclica Inc. where I built a pipeline to detect and calculate statistical pathway enrichment based on proteome screening results. Prior to joining GEMINI, I worked at BMO Capital Markets as a technology analyst where I was a lead analyst on several projects like automating reconciliation between trading systems and regulatory reporting.
I feel most inspired when:
I get to collaborate with people who are equally passionate about their work!
A few of my favourite things are:
-
Shopping at farmer’s markets and used bookstores
-
Playing board games with friends
-
Experimenting in the kitchen with a new recipe or trying a new restaurant
