Bryn Reimer is a PhD student in the Computer Science program working on applied machine learning for infectious disease. Her undergraduate training was in chemistry, focused on computational and quantum chemistry, and she spent two fellowship years at the University of Cambridge; one on DFT modeling of gold carbene species in homogeneous gold catalysis, and one pivoting towards computational biology, with an emphasis on understanding the epigenetic changes present in patients with multiple sclerosis. She holds a Master’s in Computer Science from MIT where she worked with Dr Una-May O’Reilly on applied machine learning. Most recently, Bryn joins us from the Novartis Computer-Aided Drug Discovery group where she applied her experience in computational biology and chemistry to understand more about protein-protein and protein-ligand-protein interactions. For fun, she enjoys singing, English change ringing, and reading.
