My advisor is really supportive and he cares about his grad students. ​

How will my work Improve Life?

My research is about developing a model for cardiomapathy which are caused by mutations in sarcomeric proteins. If I can develop it, my research will help the field to know how these mutations that lead to cardiomyopathy bring about the disease state.

My future plans...

Not sure, still deciding, but something to do with fertility and reproduction.
