Biography

For the past two years I worked with the Clinical Genetics Branch of the National Institute of Health. in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology & Genetics. My responsibilities included assisting in the management of data collected from the eight ongoing clinical trials, in order to research new clues to the etiology and prevention of hereditary cancers. I also attended classes and followed seminars offered by the NIH. These experiences  influenced my decision to pursue a career in epidemiology. I plan to focus my Master thesis on the molecular and genetic epidemiology of cancer. My hope is to continue research towards a PhD degree at the University of Cambridge, and continue my career within an academic environment.
