PI Mentor: Dr. Alexander Bick & Dr. Digna Velez Edwards
Research: I have developed novel methods to detect, monitor, and treat clonal hematopoiesis.
Vanderbilt Impact:
“The VANTAGE sequencing core was essential for developing and deploying the sequencing assays used in my work. I am also very grateful to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center clinical genetics team for allowing me to participate in their case conferences, courses, and research discussions in preparation for a career in clinical laboratory genetics.”
Post-PhD Plans: I am heading to the University of Utah for a fellowship in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics.
