Columbia Chapter

Co-President, CC‘24

Research interest: Through studying regulatory genomics with computational techniques, I hope to decipher the molecular processes of cellular identity loss at genetic and epigenetic levels, so as to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of age-related diseases, particularly cancer and Alzheimer's.

Co-President, CC’25

Research interest: I'm interested in developing tools that manipulate stem cells for therapeutic purposes. I'm currently conducting research at Dr. Tim Wang's lab and Dr. Harris Wang's lab. At Tim's lab, I examine the molecular mechanisms of gut stem cell signaling. At Harris' lab, I look at the impact of dietary additives on the gut microbiome, and helped develop a new tool - Exfo-Seq - that sequences exfoliated cells in fecal samples.

Outreach Chair, CC’24

Research interest: Stem cell biology and regenerative science

Events Chair, CC’24

Research interest: immunological mechanisms of neurological diseases

Vice Events Chair, Barnard’25

Research interest: Nutrition and Metabolic disease, specifically NAFLD and Type II Diabetes.

Operations Chair, CC’26

Research interest: With an interest in molecular biology, my exposure to gene therapy and mRNA therapy at a biotech-focused venture capital solidified my research direction. Eager to further understand the mechanisms that drive life-changing therapeutics, I am interested in gene expression, its transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation, and relevant genome engineering that can potentially translate into therapeutics for various human diseases. Currently working at Professor James Manley's Lab, focusing on lnc RNA.

Recruiting Chair, CC’26

Research interest: I'm currently working in a breast cancer lab researching cell signaling and drug resistance mechanism; besides cancer biology, I'm interested in immunology, in particular its recent application in neuroinflammatory diseases.

SEAS’26

Research interest: Investigating the application of deep learning models in protein structure prediction.

SEAS’25

Research interest: I am interested in understanding how the brain functions to make quick decisions and in stem cell therapy. I am working to see how I can combine these two interests together.

Barnard’26

Research interest: tissue engineering and single cell sequencing.

Barnard’27

Research interest: I'm currently pursuing a Neuroscience & Behavior major at Barnard College on the pre-med track. My primary research interests lie in neuroscience and cellular biology research, with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases. Ultimately, my goal is to apply this knowledge for meaningful contributions to the fields of healthcare and biotechnology.
