RESEARCH 

Trained as a biophysicist specializing in theory and computation, I am deeply intrigued by fundamental biological questions. To pursue this interest, my research in the Wu lab centers on identifying new genome organizational signatures relevant to cancer and aging through the experimental methods of super-resolution imaging.
