David Ochoa joined Open Targets in 2019, where he currently works as the Platform and Informatics Science Coordinator. David is involved in setting the scientific strategy for informatics science projects and managing the day-to-day operations of core database projects in collaboration with industry partners. Before joining Open Targets, David obtained his PhD, utilising computational methods and network biology to predict protein-protein interactions. After graduating, he joined the group of Pedro Beltrao at EMBL-EBI as a postdoctoral fellow to gain a deeper understanding of human signalling under perturbation and disease by leveraging the growing body of large-scale proteomics data and the latest computational approaches in data analysis and machine learning.
