Yijia Chen

TITLE: Undergraduate Student
EMAIL: cindychen2020@nullg.ucla.edu

Biography

My research focuses on dynamical modeling and data analysis. My main project is to implement computational and modeling techniques to predict the encoding of the information of distinct stimuli in the NF-κB dynamics and the decoding of the dynamics to control gene expression specificity in macrophages. Outside of the lab, I am interested in biotech startups and enjoy swimming, traveling, and playing board games :).
