I am a biologist who studies how gene expression is regulated during normal biological processes as well as disease development. My mission is to uncover new aspects of gene regulation and genome organization that help explain the wonderful complexity of cell programs and to utilize this knowledge to identify therapeutic opportunities for complex diseases, such as cancer. To address these exciting biology questions, I use a combination of experimental and computational approaches ranging from traditional molecular biology methods to genome editing, single-cell genomics, single-molecule DNA sequencing and epigenomic profiling methods. I am currently a PhD candidate at Stanford University studying the genome organization of cancer, specifically in the context of extrachromosomal oncogene amplifications.
