I'm currently a postdoc in biology at Stanford. I was in Cambridge during 2005-06 doing an MPhil in computational biology, and then did my PhD in biological engineering at MIT. My research combines chemistry and molecular biology to understand how cells respond to cues from the environment. I focus particularly on cancer, identifying the pathways that are disregulated by common cancer-causing mutations.
