PHD PROGRAM

RESEARCH INTEREST
Bioinformatics, Computational Biology

“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.”

PHD PROGRAM

RESEARCH INTEREST
Computational Biology, Neurobiology, Systems Biology

“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’ve really enjoyed working with imaging data in the past, and I’d love a chance to return to something involving optics (although I have a weak physics background- I would mainly be focused on the processing of images, not the acquisition of them). I’m also interested in synthetic biology, although I don’t think my particular skillset suits it very well.”

“I am interested in translational toxicology research, specifically, how environmental exposures can impact human health, genetics, fetal development, and disease progression. In addition, I hope to utilize epigenetic and bioinformatic approaches to better understand chemical exposures and aid in public health research.”

PHD PROGRAM

RESEARCH INTEREST
Biophysics, Computational Biology, Structural Biology

“I’m interested in the intersections of structural and computational biology. Initially, I will aim to study the nuances of protein design by learning about proteins from a broader more abstract perspective.

For example a rotation with Dr. Neher, would afford the opportunity to study enzymes, their unique properties and methods for purification and characterization.

Studying with Dr. Burlow, I hope to grapple with the complexity of disordered proteins. Rotating in Dr. Kuhlman’s lab could enlighten me on the computational methods to make sense of complexity in biological molecules.

Lastly, working in Dr. Baker’s lab, I would hope to focus the majority of my effort toward membrane interacting proteins, especially those with clinical relevance such as proteins involved in antigen presentation and signal transduction of immune cells.”

RESEARCH INTEREST
Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Computational Biology

“I am interested in computational protein design and developing new tools for the task. Whether it’s for developing new therapeutics, breaking down toxins in the environment, or perhaps as detectors that can be used as a research tool, the problems protein design can address is limited only by our imagination.”
