I am a medical student at the UC Davis School of Medicine with a career goal of becoming a physician-scientist in oncology focused on translational cancer research. My research focuses on using patient-derived gastric organoid models to investigate tumor biology and molecular mechanisms driving cancer progression. Through this work, I aim to bridge discoveries with clinically meaningful insights that inform cancer care.
