Basic Info

I'm a second year grad student working in the Engelward Lab at MIT working on DNA damage and repair. Half of my job consists of infecting mice with bacteria and harvesting their organs to search for cancer, and the other half is damaging DNA and measuring how much harm I've done.

Education

  • 2016, Pursuing Ph.D. in Biological Engineering, MIT
  • 2011, BS in Chemical Engineering, University of Pittsburgh

Research interests

  1. DNA damage and repair
  2. Causes of cancer
  3. Drug delivery
