  Shrewsbury, Massachusetts  Awesome Cali weather! (Academics don't hurt either)  5th year Molecular and Cell Biology. PhD Candidate. Danica Chen Lab.  I love adventures such as hiking, car trips, and considering I'm here, intellectual escapades. I also like reading (fiction and non-fiction, with a textbook thrown in every now and then for good measure), sports (Go Sox, Celts, and Pats!), piano, astronomy, meteorology, the occasional video and the essentials, eating and snoozing. |

I am working in the lab of Danica Chen to elucidate how a family of proteins called sirtuins will keep me (and everyone I love or who is willing to shell out enough dough) young and vivacious.
