Science

I am passionate about bench science and patient care, and I plan to pursue an MD-PhD with an oncology focus.

My personal scientific interests are at the intersection of genetics, immunology, and cancer biology — I’m particularly interested in genetic drivers of cancer, antigen presentation, T cell responses, and mechanisms of therapeutic resistance.

I am currently a research associate in the Viswanathan Lab at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where I am interested in elucidating the molecular landscape and vulnerabilities of genitourinary cancers, with an eye towards rare cancer types.

I was previously an undergraduate researcher in the Fisher Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital from 2021-2024, where I investigated how to improve cancer immune checkpoint blockade immunotherapy efficacy through harnessing the adaptive immune system. I wrote my senior thesis at Harvard College on this work, where I earned an A grade on my thesis and graduated with high honors in Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology.
