Bio

I am a MD/PhD student at the University of Washington. My research interests broadly lie at the intersection of computational biology and cancer immunology. Currently in my PhD, I am using spatial transcriptomics to explore mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance in Merkel cell carcinoma. I split my time between the Nghiem, Setty, and Newell labs.
