I am a PhD candidate at Oregon Health & Science University. Much of my training is in biology; however, I have succeeded in general and organic chemistry environments as well, in academic and industry settings. I am currently finishing my graduate studies in bioinformatics and computational biology in pursuit of a career in translational research. I have professional experience identifying structural problems, as well as formulating and implementing solutions to these problems. My current research seeks to understand mechanisms of resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies via network-based analysis methods of single-cell transcriptomics data.

Areas of Interest and Expertise:

• Single-Cell Transcriptomics
• Cancer Immunology / Immunotherapies
• Gene-Regulatory Networks
• Cell-Cell Communication
• Evolutionary Trade-Offs
• Mechanisms of Treatment Resistance
