Abdul Muntakim Rafi

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Engineering at the University of British Columbia. My current research focuses on decoding cis-regulatory logic using machine learning: building sequence-to-expression models, developing methods to interpret and rigorously evaluate their reliability, and continually improving these models through large-scale synthesis of informative DNA sequences and lab-in-the-loop experiments. I have supervised multiple Co-op students in the de Boer lab and am always on the lookout for motivated undergrads/high schoolers to join my research endeavors.
