Tutored by
I'm a molecular engineering major at the University of Chicago, investigating the role of immune infiltrates on tumor growth. My previous research work explored metastatic mechanisms in medulloblastoma and glioblastoma cancer cells. Outside of the lab, you can find me on stage with my clarinet, or on a trail whistling back to the birds :)
