Biotechnology Undergraduate Student
Biography
I began studying for my B.S. in Biotechnology and Computer Science at Davis in 2011. In 2012, I became an assistant to Keith Dunaway under Dr. Ian Korf and Dr. Janine LaSalle. The experience of working in two laboratories has been great because I hear about research from colleagues coming from a diverse selection of fields. As an interdisciplinary student, I enjoy learning about how computer science can be applied to analyze biological data. My research is aimed towards locating MeCP2 binding sites in the neuronal genome. My current project studies the levels of satellite repeats and LINE-1 retrotransposons between the genomes of neurons and astrocytes.
