Alumni QB3 Fellows 2024
QB3-UCSC Graduate Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Excellence
I am doing rotations in the Fall and Winter quarters. In my first rotation, I worked in Dr. Benedict Paten’s lab to assess the performance of a genome assembly polish tool for the pangenome project. I’m doing my second rotation in Dr. Russell Corbett-Detig’s lab on developing a pipeline to generate a phylogeny tree for Candida auris, a fungal species with growing public health concerns. My research interests primarily lie in infectious disease and public health. As I continue my rotation and graduate studies, I want to build expertise in computational skills and become proficient in the field. As a scientist, I aspire to apply my biology and computer science knowledge to aid people with medical needs.
