I am a rising junior at Harvard College (class of 2027) with interests in longevity, brain aging, immune biology, and computer science. I currently work with the Tsai and Boyden Labs at MIT, and previously at Alio, Lygenesis, Rubedo Life Sciences, and the Gladyshev Lab at Harvard. This work has led to publications in the fields of aging and aging-related diseases. Beyond academia, I am a Venture Partner at Contrary and co-founded a company, Biotein, to research age-related disease and therapies. My long-term goal is to integrate academic research and entrepreneurship to contribute to finding ways to prevent brain aging-related diseases.
