“I hope to pursue research within the scope of pathogenic microbiology, focusing on host-pathogen interactions and what processes and conditions alter them. Specifically, virulence and antimicrobial resistance are two of my major areas of interest.”

“My research interests involve investigating the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases using methods such as single-cell sequencing, metabolomics, and transcriptomics to identify potential intervention targets for mitigating the progression of these diseases.”

“I am broadly interested in virology. Specifically, I hope to investigate intercellular communications during viral life cycles. I am also interested in utilizing tools like cryogenic electron microscopy to study virion and viral membrane protein structures. In the meantime, I am very much open to other topics in the field, as well as in cancer biology and biochemistry.”

“I am interested in designing statistical analysis methods for microbiome-metabolome and/or single-cell data. I am interested in applying the methods to studying neurological disorders or marine microorganisms. I am looking forward to doing mostly computational work but with some wet lab experiments or fieldwork components.”

“I am interested in pursuing research in the field of computational neuroscience, specifically investigating the neural mechanisms underlying learning and memory formation. My focus lies in using computational models to understand how neural circuits process information and adapt to changing environments, with the ultimate goal of uncovering fundamental principles of brain function.”

“I am fascinated by the field of stem cell biology. The great potential and ground-breaking findings it presents motivate me to further investigate the mechanisms of how stem cells communicate with their environment and how they integrate signals to differentiate.”

“To build on my experience studying the metabolism of pancreatic islets at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, I am eager to continue studying cell stress and metabolism, specifically in the context of disease. As such, I am interested in cancer metabolism, and how different metabolic vulnerabilities can be exploited to target cancer cells. As part of this interest, cancer immunology also fascinates me due to its promise of specifically targeting cancer cells with the deleterious effects on other somatic cells caused by many current chemotherapeutic treatments. My experience working on drug discovery in the muscular dystrophy space at Fulcrum Therapeutics has also given me an appreciation for the value of characterizing pharmacological compounds and their mechanisms of action, especially in the context of cancer biology.”

“I am interested in studying chromatin architecture and the role that it plays on gene regulation in the context of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Moreover, I would like to generate an impact with my research by applying my findings to the area of therapeutics.”

“I’m interested in a variety of research topics pertaining to neurodegeneration. In particular I desire to expand our understanding of environmental factors that influence the onset of age related dementias. I’m fascinated by asymptomatic Alzheimer’s disease, particularly what neuroprotective factors maintain cognitive function in these individuals with full plaque and tau pathology. Furthermore, I’m intrigued by lipids, fungi, and mental illness and their roles in neurodegeneration.”

“I have no definitive areas of research I want to focus on specifically. I would like to do research looking at disease models in either disease/obesity or neurodegenerative disorders, but I am more of an open slate at this stage.”
