Welcome to Chris’ Portfolio!
My name is Christopher Courtney and it’s a pleasure to meet you, you can call me Chris. I’m a grad student at Northeastern University pursuing a master’s in bioinformatics. I have a passion for AI and Machine learning applications in variant effect prediction and drug discovery. I have a background as a lab manager for an academic research lab at the University of Virginia where I specialize in bench-to-bedside translational genomics and experience as a business owner specializing in content creation and social-media marketing.
This ePortfolio contains a curated collection of my work, and links to relevant projects. On this page you will find my resume, LinkedIn, and work values.
I look forward to connecting with you!
