Biography

I am interested in studying transcriptional regulation. My current project aims to elucidate a role of GAF as a mediator of gene expression in type I IFN signaling mainly through RNA-seq and ChIP-seq. I aspire to pursue MD/PhD and become a physician-scientist as a next step after graduation. When I am not in lab, I like watching anime and listening to songs nobody has heard of.
