About

I am currently a PhD immunology student at Harvard Medical school. My scientific interests lie in infectious diseases, cancer immunology, and T cell biology. Post graduation, I am interested in biotechnology, finance (VC, private equity), and consulting. Prior to starting my PhD, I worked as a Research Technician in Dr. R. Brad Jones laboratory in the Division of Infectious Disease at Weill Cornell Medicine. I assisted in the development and execution of HIV eradication strategies and contribute to overall maintenance of the lab. This includes cell culture maintenance, data logging, and performing laboratory tests in order to produce reliable and precise data to support scientific investigations. Primarily, I work testing HIV eradication assays to determine the efficacy of combining latency reversing agents, anti-apoptosis inhibitors, and with various immune effectors on eliminating the HIV reservoir.
