I am a biologist who investigates how information is stored in the genome and how information is transmitted in cell signaling processes. My research seeks to understand the logic of these processes to reveal how cells collectively perform wonderfully complex biological functions. My long-term vision is to use this knowledge to reprogram cell functions and identify therapeutic opportunities for complex diseases, such as cancer. To address these exciting biology questions, I use a combination of experimental and computational approaches ranging from traditional molecular biology methods to genomics, genome engineering, and microscopy. My PhD thesis research at Stanford University focused on the genome organization of cancer, specifically in the context of extrachromosomal oncogene amplifications. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Scripps Research, San Diego, investigating how cells compute mechanical and biochemical signals.
