I am a geneticist doing basic biological research at the medical school. I was an undergraduate MCDB major at Yale and subsequently completed both medical (MD) and basic science (PhD) training. My research focuses on epigenetics in mammalian reproduction, including implications for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance and developmental evolution. In addition to science, I love writing, poetry, running and the outdoors. I grew up in California and (after more than 20 years!) I'm slowly adjusting to the weather on the East Coast. I live in Woodbridge with my husband, two kids, a hyperactive dog, and an aging black cat.
I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology from Yale College in 2003, my PhD in Biological Sciences and MD from Rockefeller University and Weill Cornell Medical College, and was a post-doctoral fellow at Whitehead Institute / MIT from 2011-2017. I became a faculty member in the Yale Genetics Department in 2017.
