When I applied to medical school, it was with the primary aim of one day being able to take care of and improve the lives of children. So I am incredibly thankful to have recently graduated with my MD from Weill Cornell Medical College with Honors in Research and to have started my training as a Pediatric Resident at Columbia University/ NYP Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital! I am already learning so much from the institution's inspirational faculty, senior residents, and staff, and I can't… Show more When I applied to medical school, it was with the primary aim of one day being able to take care of and improve the lives of children.

I was awarded a competitive summer fellowship in 2019 by the Weill Cornell Clinical and Translational Science Center for my project proposal entitled "Investigating the Link Between Gut Dysbiosis and Alterations in the Gut Metabolome in Preterm Infants." Since then, I have spent 3 years in the Zeng lab using our neonatal stool biobank to study the role of serotonin in the neonatal gut, sex differences within the neonatal gut and their broader immune implications, and the effects of maternal… Show more I was awarded a competitive summer fellowship in 2019 by the Weill Cornell Clinical and Translational Science Center for my project proposal entitled "Investigating the Link Between Gut Dysbiosis and Alterations in the Gut Metabolome in Preterm Infants."

I designed and conducted a retrospective study of Weill Cornell Medicine patients undergoing fetal ultrasonography for evaluation of fetal arrhythmias. This entailed reviewing more than 4,000 echo reports over a 5-year period to determine: the overall incidence of various arrhythmias (especially in patients with anti-Ro or anti-La antibodies), associated maternal risk factors, the rates of maternal hospitalization for each type of arrhythmia, and specific neonatal outcomes.

I designed and implemented an extensive REDCap database and performed statistical computations on the collected data in order to facilitate and improve patient education regarding the risk factors for fetal arrhythmias, possible outcomes, and treatments.

I helped to develop a new imaging technique that can be utilized to diagnose scapular dyskinesis and quantify the extent of scapular winging in patients with chronic shoulder pain or overuse injuries. We are currently collaborating with an orthopedic surgeon at New York Presbyterian Hospital to collect validation data from patients.

Investigated human protein-protein interactions and patterns of somatic mutations in human cancer using computational methods as part of the Computational Biophysics Group at NCBI, NIH

Used confocal microscopy to verify the phenotype of germline stem cells in transgenic Drosophila, in order to identify potential oncogenes
