Research Summary:

My current research focuses on selective targeting of epigenetic pathways underlying drug tolerant persistence in neuroblastoma.

Why did you choose to attend PULSe:

What truly drew me to PULSe was the first-year lab rotations, which allowed me to explore a variety of interdisciplinary fields like cancer and chemical biology. Its broad, inclusive structure—with numerous departments and faculty welcoming students from diverse backgrounds—enabled me to gain hands-on lab experience and build meaningful connections. This made choosing the right research focus a thoughtful and confident decision.

About Me: (Hobbies and Interests when not in lab):

Outside of lab, I love going on random walks, playing badminton, and exploring new places through travel and trekking - it gives me time to reset and reflect.
