About
Curriculum Vitae I work as a biologist at MIT, where I study pediatric malaria. I focus on understanding why, in some patients, the immune response to malaria can cause more illness and damage than the infection itself. In the past, I’ve researched the immune response to covid-infection, the diversity of immune cells in human breast milk, and worked to characterize circulating tumor cells, which can help cancers spread to other locations in the body. On weekends I can be found underground, either leading undergraduates through known caves, looking for caves, or mapping newly discovered caves.
