I am a biologist who investigates how cells and tissues manage information through genomic and 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 molecular biology methods to genomics 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 the logic by which cells compute and integrate mechanical and biochemical signals.
