I received my bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of Vermont and my PhD degree in quantitative imaging from Dartmouth College. I have also worked as a Research Fellow at Harvard studying systems biology. Currently, I am studying the evolution of metastasis and anti-tumor immunity using single-cell genomics. I am the recipient of a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award at the Scientific Interface as well as a fellowship from the Lung Cancer Research Foundation. My co-mentor is Dana Pe’er, Chair of the Computational and Systems Biology Program. I love spending time with my family, especially with my little angel, daughter Sophia!
