I am a scientist who studies how genome editors generate errors. My goal is to design error-free genome editing technologies that enable safer gene therapy.

​I am currently a Research Scientist at MIT co-mentored by Bob Langer and Phil Sharp. I apply molecular engineering to create ultra-precise genome editors. I am also working on strategies for the delivery of genome editors in vivo. I believe these tools will lead to exciting new therapeutic approaches for genetic diseases.

I earned my doctorate from Harvard, where I was advised by Rakesh Jain. I received my undergraduate degrees from Johns Hopkins.
