Biography

I am a starting Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School. My Ph.D. and M.Phil. trainings and expertise were in the field of virology, cancer biology, immunology, and drug development where I focused on the study of DNA tumor viruses’ evasion of the host immune systems and the contributions to cancer development, and drug development for novel cancer-targeting therapy.
