Coming from an undergraduate background in phylogenetics, evolution, and ecology, I spent my first year out of college at a pathology lab running Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization and other assays for cancer screening. In 2011, I transitioned to academic research at Vanderbilt, investigating bacterial manipulation of insect reproduction with the Bordenstein Lab. I joined the Lau Lab in 2013, and have since helped to drive the optimization and implementation of single-cell technologies in the study of cancer and inflammation.
