Before I came to Boston, I imagined MIT would be full of bright, highly competitive scientists. The people at MIT are contagiously passionate about science and actually very helpful, that’s what kept me here. I am grateful to be part of this wonderful community, and happily involved in many projects across different labs. Plus, two of the leading experts in my research field, Drs. Jaenisch and Sur, are just across the street from each other, and have complementary expertise to help me to reach my research goals.
