Research Interests
I am passionate about neurobiological processes and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s Disease, and am interested in exploring deeper into immunology. I am excited to study neuroimmune topics such as Microglia’s role and implications in AD! In the future, I also aim to treat patients clinically while doing research to bring benchside science to the bedside to cure diseases.
Interests and Hobbies
Outside of the lab, I enjoy playing badminton, trying new foods, grabbing endless cups of matcha lattes, traveling with family and friends, and taking memorable snaps with my Canon.
