Bakar's Computational Health Science
My expertise resides in the intersection of Computer Science and Biomedical Informatics. My passion is in developing novel systems and algorithms to solve complex problems in Biology. I hold an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering, a Masters degree in Bioinformatics and have 8+ years of experience working in the industry as a Bioinformatics Scientist. At BCHSI, my primary focus is on the application of advanced machine learning and NLP techniques for automated de-identification of clinical notes. Before then, I was employed as a Bioinformatics Scientist at Thermofisher Scientific where I led the development of LIMS tools and design of micro-array chips.
