I am a junior at UC Berkeley studying Neuroscience and Public Health. I am currently researching the risk and progression of Alzheimer’s disease using 2D and 3D cell culture models. Specifically, I work with astrocyte and neuron co-cultures, as well as human brain organoids, to investigate how factors such as stress and blood-brain barrier dysfunction contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. Outside of research, I love baking, reading, painting, and traveling with my friends and family.
