About Me

I'm a student in the Systems Biology PhD and the Leder Human Biology Programs in the lab of Vamsi Mootha at Harvard University.

Current Research

I study how next generation sequencing can be used to diagnose patients with mitocondrial diseases and try to learn a little about basic mitochondrial biology in the process.

Other Interests/Activities

1. Reading blogs and posting relevant links.
2. Taking photographs. I intend to have a flickr link here eventually.
3. Tweeting from time to time.
4. Loving my red Bianchi Boardwalk, though less so in Boston winters.
5. Summer 2008 I worked as a tutor at the Research Science Institute. I'm mentoring in 2011!
6. In undergrad, I spent a lot of time working with/running Communitech (2004-2008), an organization trying to bridge the digital divide one computer at a time in the Mid-Atlantic USA and abroad. Science/technology stands to play a huge (though not sufficient) role in international development.
7. I used to (2004-2008) run and write for the Penn Triangle, Penn's pop-science magazine.
