A Bioinformatics Scientist with Knowledge in Neuroscience converts Coffee into Codes
I am a Bioinformatics Ph.D. candidate in Dr. Vivek Swarup’s lab at the University of California, Irvine. My thesis research focuses on leveraging statistical methods and computational tools to investigate Alzheimer’s disease, with the ultimate goal of discovering new therapeutic targets.
I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in Biotechnology in 2018. Following that, I worked as a research specialist in Dr. Lewis Chodosh’s lab at the University of Pennsylvania, where I contributed to developing treatments for recurrent breast cancer. There, I conducted hands-on drug efficacy experiments and applied statistical methods to evaluate drug effects across four preclinical trials. Additionally, my undergraduate research experience includes performing tissue culture, siRNA knockdown, flow cytometry, and other molecular approaches to advance our understanding in biomedical research.
