My background is in chemistry, and I chose the Imperiali lab because Professor Imperiali is a world-class chemical biologist. It has been rewarding to learn so many new things while conducting research in this department. Since starting at MIT Biology, I’ve realized how many fields are interconnected, and how they can overlap with each other to foster amazing and progressive research projects. I continue to benefit from the department’s supportive environment as I become a more well-rounded researcher.
