At Wellesley, I majored in Biochemistry and minored in Music. I currently work as a Research Technician in the Kwon Lab at the Ragon Institute in Cambridge, MA where I am studying the vaginal microbiome. Outside of the lab, I enjoy reading, listening to and playing music, and wandering around the city!

​

I majored in Media Arts and Sciences with an emphasis in Media Arts. In the lab, I combined my love for science and art through design. I worked on the lab website and created project pages to highlight our lab research. Outside of lab, I danced with the Wellesley Asian Dance Organization, organized events with the Chinese Students Association, and took lots of photos.

I am a neuroscience and computer science major graduating in 2022. During my time in the lab, I worked with Hannah on summarizing the metadata from the ECHO Project, which helped pique my interest in computation. After college, I hope to pursue software engineering in the healthcare industry.

I worked in the VKC Lab for two years as an undergraduate investigating anaerobic microbial manganese oxidation and three years as a research associate investigating the connection between the gut microbiome and brain development on the ECHO project. Since leaving the lab, I am pursuing a career in science writing. Outside of lab, I enjoy baking and singing.

I am presently at Princeton University in the Department of Geosciences wrapping up my Ph.D. in geomicrobiology with Tullis Onstott. My dissertation research focuses on exploring temperature and pressure-based thermodynamic extremes of deep biosphere methane cycling, with particular interest investigating under-characterized microbial dark matter for novel methanotrophic lineages.

Thanks to my time at Wellesley, I was fortunate enough to graduate with a Psychology major and Biochemistry minor. I also found great joy in the pioneering research I conducted in the VKC lab as our team explored the soil microbial communities of the newly renovated Global Flora greenhouse. Uplifting others and making the most out of the opportunities given to me are two of the many things that bring me the most life. I am currently pursuing a career in medicine and am hopeful that all of my experiences in and out of the lab will make me a great doctor!

As a person who is fascinated by how technology determines the future, I intend to major in Computer Science/ Data Science. I am especially interested in medical coding and the use of computation and data to solve complex medical problems for individuals and in public health.

At Wellesley, I majored in biological sciences and minored in statistics. My senior thesis compared the efficacy of 16S and metagenomic sequencing in analyzing infant and child microbiomes investigating the role of various environmental factors on the development of children’s gut microbiota and cognitive development. I am currently working as a Data Scientist at Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research in Cambridge, MA.

I studied microbial communities and the algorithms we use to understand them as a Computer Science Major. I began working in the VKC Lab during my sophomore year at Wellesley, studying anerobic manganese oxidation in Fayetteville Green Lake, NY. I wrote my senior honors thesis on how to apply machine learning algorithms for the differentiation of protein functions. Outside of lab, I love to rock climb, cook, read, and play outside!

I majored in Biology and Psychology while at Wellesley College. I currently work as a Research Technician II in the Infectious Disease and Microbiome Program in the Xavier Lab at the Broad Institute. I'm working on isolating and purifying tissue microbial strains collected from patients with inflammatory bowel disease. 

I'm a Neuroscience and Studio Art major passionate about systems neuroscience, mental health, and the intersection of art and science. I enjoy working with microbes in a combined science and art context.

As a Biology and Computer Science major at Wellesley, I studied the genomic characterization of the microbe Bifidobacterium longum infantis. I am currently working as a Bioinformatician at Integrated DNA Technologies to improve the analysis of CRISPR editing.

I majored in Biology and minored in Psychology at Wellesley. In lab, I studied the prevalence of Bifidobacterium longum infantis to understand the relationship between the infant gut microbiome and cognition. I am currently a Research Technician at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute studying lung cancer. 

I am a research associate at Finch Therapeutics.
