“I am interested in epigenetics and more specifically molecular mechanisms of disease. I want to enhance the knowledge that I gained in my previous research experience in an epigenetics and structural biology lab and transition into a lab that uses different techniques like CRISPR or genomic sequencing to look at the basic biology of what is happening in diseases such as cancer. I also have interests in drug design and drug discovery.”
