Recent honors graduate from Cornell University with a major in biological sciences and a minor in business at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Currently working at Stanford University in the Nolan Lab to conduct immunopathology research.

Genetic Biomarker Discovery in Specific Cancers

In this project, students will delve into the fascinating world of genetics and cancer research. They will explore the vast amount of genomic data available and use advanced bioinformatics tools and techniques to identify potential genetic biomarkers associated with specific types of cancer. By studying the genetic signatures of cancer cells, students can contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve diagnostics, treatment, and prevention of cancer.

At the end of the project, students who have completed the necessary research and prepared an appropriate research report will be able to write a reference letter on behalf of a Stanford University researcher.

It is not a lecture program. On the contrary, it is a training module that teaches how to conduct research, project development, teamwork and task distribution, and report preparation in the company of academics and professionals. Apart from the meetings, the participant may need to work extra, individually and as a team, for approximately 4 hours per week.
