Our mission is to change the way cancer is treated, which starts with putting patients first. We’ve developed a personalized treatment service for cancer patients that prioritizes combinations of FDA-approved treatments that can be immediately prescribed by a doctor. Focusing on individual patients and existing treatments, we’re discovering novel uses of drugs and defining mechanisms underlying development of cancer progression and drug resistance. Using modern data science and robotics, we’re building a scalable, iterative model that ultimately will turn treatment selection into a data problem. ### Beta Testing Contractor, AI Demonstrator @ OpenAI Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Created virtual task demonstrations for training AI ### Resident Assistant - Women in Sciences and Engineering @ University of California, Santa Cruz - Rachel Carson College Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 | Santa Cruz, California • Oversaw residential hall of 40 1st year women studying sciences and engineering • Trained in conflict mediation, diversity & inclusion, first aid, and campus policies • Trained to handle sensitive cases including sexual assault, medical/mental health emergencies, and undocumented and international student needs • Organized Environment and Society themed events and programs to foster community and enhance residential life ### Vice President, External Affairs @ University of California, Santa Cruz - Student Union Assembly Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 • Elected by student body to organize campaigns and represent UCSC students to agencies at the local, state, and national level • Event planning with coalitions and organizations to coordinate campaigns regarding access to education, diversity, and sexual assault prevention • Coordinated Campus Voter Registration Drive • Supervision, management, and mentorship of 20+ staff, interns, and volunteers • Public Speaking, Media Communications • Legislation and Policy Analysis ### UCSC Undergraduate Student Representative @ UC Student Health Insurance Program Executive Oversight Board Jan 2013 – Jan 2015 • Insurance and Pharmacy plan and benefit design for 60,000 students UC-wide • Budget analysis and oversight ### Board Member, 2014-2015 Undergraduate Vice-Chair @ University of California Student Association Jan 2013 – Jan 2015 • Met with government officials, UC Regents, administrators, and their staffs on a regular basis • UC-wide campaign coordination regarding access to education, diversity, and sexual assault • Coordinating voter registration, voter education, and GOTV with UC student governments and coalition partners • Legislative and policy advocacy • Finance management and oversight ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Computer Science, Interactive Intelligence Georgia Institute of Technology ### Data Science Certificate Courses University of California, Berkeley ### Bachelor's of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Bioinformatics (Minor) University of California, Santa Cruz ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/louise-cabansay --- Source: https://flows.cv/louise JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/louise/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-23
