I am a fourth-year student in the Vagelos Molecular Life Sciences program at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in Biochemistry and Biophysics and minoring in Data Science. I am also concurrently pursuing my M.S. in Chemistry. I currently work as a student researcher in the James L. Riley lab at the Penn Medicine Center for Cellular Immunotherapies, where I research the development of novel T cell therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. I am passionate about translating scientific research into solutions that tackle pressing real-world problems and advance biotechnology. I am especially interested in areas such as cell and gene therapies, RNA therapeutics, immunotherapies, bioinformatics, and computational biology.
