Working at the intersection of deep-tech research and commercialization. Developing microbiome therapeutics in the Zengler Lab while actively engaging in the biotech venture ecosystem.
Bridging Science & Strategy
I am a PhD student in the Department of Bioengineering at UC San Diego, working in Dr. Karsten Zengler's Lab. Prior to my doctoral studies, I served as a Post-baccalaureate IRTA Fellow at the National Institute on Aging (NIH), investigating mouse aging models under Dr. Rafael DeCabo. I hold a B.S. in Bioengineering from UC Riverside.
Outside of research and venture analysis, I enjoy Formula 1, pickleball, hiking San Diego’s trails, and engaging in science communication to inspire the next generation of researchers.
