Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience

I UROP'd in the Wittrup Lab (protein engineering) for 12 months, doing lots of cloning, protein purification, and mice work under a miniproject for my grad student.

I MISTI'd/IROP'd at the Xia Lab at Shanghai Jiao Tong Univeristy this summer and led a project that involved cancer cell cultures, some materials science experiments, and Western blots. I started my current UROP this semester at the Manalis Lab and work with lasers, microfluidic devices, and lots of cool new things.

What is your favorite food or song or song about food?

Strawberries and brownies, preferably together. (Chocolate chip cookies are good with strawberries too.)
