Hi, I’m Nick 👋

I am a data science enthusiast, life-long learner, and student of life. Currently, I work as a (remote) Quantitative Translational Scientist at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. Previously, I was a Systems Biology PhD student at Columbia University in New York City. My homebase is Buffalo, New York, where, as a native of the “All America City”, I am paradoxically indifferent to snow and a very cold person 😬. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, my partner, and carving out time for my hobbies. I’m also interested in rehabilitative science. As a stroke survivor, I like learning about how the body re-learns movement patterns through pilates.
