My scientific career has explored the intersections of mathematical modeling, molecular biology, and computational data science. I received my BA in Chemistry and Physics from Harvard in 1996, followed by a Ph.D. in theoretical physics at MIT in 2001, where I studied protein folding, DNA biophysics, and the statistical mechanics of polymer gels with Toyoichi Tanaka, Alexander Grosberg, and Mehran Kardar. I worked as a postdoc at UC San Francisco with Prof. Hao Li in the Biochemistry and Biophysics Department, where I moved into computational biology and studied the molecular evolution of gene regulatory processes. From 2005-2012 I was an assistant professor in the Biology Department at Boston College. I joined the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine as an Associate Professor in Fall 2012, where my major interests have been cancer genomics, intratumoral evolution, and RNA-level gene regulation. I have a longtime interest in science communication and education, developed out my work as a AAAS Mass Media Fellow during graduate school.
