I have received my PhD in Biophysics from the University of Chicago in 2021!
I was co-advised by Xin He and Oni Basu.
My research focus is on bioinformatics and computational biology. In particular, I study cancer genomics and transcriptomics.
Currently, I am working as a scientist at Natera to develop methylation-based cfDNA diagnostic tests for residual cancer detection.
Jan 21st, 2025
I will be joining Natera as a Senior Bioinformatics Scientist.
