About

I am an enthusiastic graduate student at studying biostatistics in UW and willing to learn new skills and knowledge. I like the field of computational biology, which leads me to work on bioinformatics and biostatistics. I was volunteering in UCSD laboratories on bioinformatics projects using RNA seq analysis, single cell analysis and etc skills.

Experience

  • Undergraduate Research Assistant (Rana Lab) at UC San Diego
    Jun 2023 - Sep 2023 · 4 mos

    - Supported and create pipeline for a postdoctoral project on tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cell single-cell RNA sequencing, refining automated methods and selectively applying traditional manual techniques to correct identified inaccuracies in cell_type identifications.
