I’m a second-year medical student at the University of British Columbia with a background in genome science and cancer research. Before medical school, I completed a PhD in Genome Science and Technology at UBC and worked as a clinical research scientist and genome analyst at Vancouver General Hospital, using genetic sequencing and bioinformatics to support cancer diagnostics. My current interests bridge clinical medicine and genomics, with a focus on how advances in genetic technologies can inform patient care.

This website brings together my work in medicine and genomics. It highlights research projects, publications, and talks, and also documents my journey through medical training. A key feature is the science blog, where I share writing on genetics, cancer research, and the future of personalized healthcare.
