My
transition into biology
|
In May 2007, I finished
my Ph.D. in pure mathematics under the direction of Clint McCrory. My
dissertation involved the topology of toric varieties.
|
|
My first postdoc was in
the Cancer Biology department
at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. I worked in a wet
lab under the guidance of Dr. Suzy Torti.
I got fairly good at real time rt-pcr and also enjoyed cell culture.

|
I loved my time
in the lab, but I did miss mathematics. Hence, my current
research goals were born: to tackle real problems from biology using
mathematics. I am fortunate now to be working with Lior Pachter who
is both a biologist and a mathematician.
