About me

I am a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Randall S. Johnson
investigating the role of cellular oxygen sensing in directing cellular
metabolism and the resulting effects on epigenetics.
PhD, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
BSc, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada
