Biography:

  • Salk Institute (2011 - Current): Research Assistant II
  • Cornell University (2011): Lab Manager
  • Cornell University (2010 - 2011): Master of Engineering - Biomedical Engineering 
  • Stevens Institute of Technology (2004 - 2009): Bachelor of Science - Chemistry/Biochemistry/Biomedical Engineering
  • I joined the Belmonte Lab in 2011 and have been studying blood disorders, such as sickle cell disease and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, using induced pluripotent stem cells derived from somatic cells that are specific to human patients. 
  • I have learned how to correct genes of interest using different gene editing techniques so that the corrected cells can be re-differentiated into the desired cell types to replace the patients' sick cells.
