I am a 3rd year PhD Candidate at Weill Cornell Medicine in the Physiology, Biophysics, and Systems Biology program, working with Dr. Ed Reznik at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
My research focuses on the relationship between obesity and cancer. More specifically, I use computational methods to understand how obesity influences the molecular biology of tumours and determining the likelihood that these differences may be related to how obesity is a major cancer risk factor.
Previously, I completed my undergraduate degree in Microbiology and Immunology at UBC and worked as a research assistant in Dr. Christian Steidl’s lab at the British Columbia Cancer Research Centre developing prognostic models and studying Follicular Lymphoma cancer evolution.
