Jared is a PhD student in the biophysics program at UC Berkeley in the laboratories of Dr. Daniel Fletcher and Dr. Grigory Tikhomirov. His research focuses on developing nucleic acid nanotechnology-based tools to probe and manipulate cells for biophysical research and diagnostics, as well as developing nanomedicines to improve human health. This manifests as projects involving developing drug delivery vehicles, low-cost point-of-care diagnostics, and imaging probes for cell-surface studies. Prior to Berkeley, Jared received a BS in biophysics and a BS in data science from Temple University. At Temple, he performed research in computational genomics studying cancer evolution in the laboratory of Dr. Sudhir Kumar. Outside of the lab, Jared enjoys hiking, biking, and exploring the beautiful nature in the bay area!
