I am a Postdoc at the Stanford Pandemic Preparedness Hub, working with Catherine Blish in the Department of Medicine – Division of Infectious Diseases & Geographic Medicine. We are using experimental and computational methods to investigate how the immune response to coronaviruses begins in the first hours following infection in single cells. This work will enable us to understand how protective immune responses develop to… Continue reading »

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Stanford Pandemic Preparedness Hub, working with Shirit Einav in the Department of Medicine – Division of Infectious Diseases & Geographic Medicine. Our research employs cutting-edge technologies, ranging from high-end microscopy, Cryo-EM, to multi-OMICS, to explore the selective targeting of viral lipid membranes by peptides/peptoids. This targeted approach aims to offer a secure and effective broad-spectrum antiviral coverage with… Continue reading »

I currently am a Postdoc at Stanford Pandemic Preparedness Hub, working with Jason Andrews and his lab team. We are using genomic data to understand the potential viruses at risk of pandemic spread and how some viruses can lead to large outbreaks or pandemics, as we just experienced with SARS-Co-2. Using disease modeling, epidemiological, and phylogenetic analysis, we study the genomic evolution and transmission dynamics… Continue reading »

I am a Postdoc with the Stanford Pandemic Preparedness Hub, working with James Holland Jones in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.  My Pandemic Preparedness project is to develop computer simulations of the evolution and spread of disease variants, such as the omicron COVID-19 variant, in different social networks. If we better understand how diseases evolve and spread in controlled, simulated social contexts, we can better predict… Continue reading »
