I graduated from Seattle Pacific University this year with a BS in computer science with a minor in biology.
I have previous research experiences in a variety of areas. At SPU, I was using computational approaches to study salmon DNA. I also completed an internship last summer at Institute for Systems Biology where I worked on tuberculosis. This project involved studying the effects of ROS on a non-pathogenic version of tuberculosis, as well as using computational techniques to create a predictive network of sRNA-mRNA interactions in tuberculosis.
It has been my dream for a long time to work in cancer research, so I am super excited to join the Ha Lab!
