About

I’m a neuroscientist working alongside clinical scientists and physicians. My contributions to the field of neuroscience include probing the unknown of Huntington’s Disease pathogenesis using electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, and electrophysiological techniques to understand disease etiology, molecular mechanism, and treatment. In my previous role at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, I manage the clinical operations of one of the most vulnerable US populations of pediatric brain tumor patients participating in novel phase I CART clinical trials. My general scientific interests involve understanding the complexities of neurological diseases, aging and its contribution to trends in the US population. As a PhD Neuroscience candidate at the University of Washington, my work involves creating and leveraging explainable computational ML/AI tools that and translating data-driven into clinically relevant contexts to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes for patients.
