Ph.D. Candidate, mentored by Dr. Brock Christensen

 

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) program at Dartmouth. Before joining MCB, I finished my master study at Case Western Reserve University, and studied high-density lipoprotein’s influence on prostate cancer. In Dr. Brock Christensen’s lab, I am interested in understanding the association between immune cells and tumor Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in breast cancer.  I am excited to explore the epigenetic landscape of metastatic tumors and to study the immune cell profile in different states of EMT cancers using multi-omics approaches.
