I am a postdoctoral researcher in Marcia Haigis's laboratory in the Cell Biology department at Harvard Medical School. I conducted my PhD research in the Haigis lab, defending my dissertation in November 2014 and officially receiving my degree in March 2015. My research was motivated by a desire to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of lifespan extension via calorie restriction. I am currently continuing in the Haigis lab as a postdoc while I prepare a manuscript for publication, help the lab begin a new project, and identify my next position.
