Collapse Overview
Nicole earned her PhD in biomedical informatics at Stanford University and B.S. and M.S. degrees from Drexel University in Biomedical Engineering. Her doctoral research focused on computational approaches to interpret non-coding rare genetic variation in both rare and common diseases, work she continued at Illumina's Artificial Intelligence Lab prior to joining UCSF's Center for Biosignal Research in 2025. As scientific program manager, she is working to bring CBR's research on improved biosignal data analysis to the clinic while supporting ongoing research efforts in methods development and discovery.

Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
