About

I am passionate about science and bench to beside clinical research with 14 years of immunology and microbiology experience in both academia and industry.  My past research has focused on T cell immunology, CAR-T cells, and checkpoint blockade cancer immunotherapy. I am also very interested in researching immunotherapy for infectious diseases. My experiences have lead to finely tuned presentation skills and I have many years of experience mentoring high schoolers, undergrads, graduate, medical students, and other scientists.
