I am a Postdoctoral Fellow working at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School under the guidance of Dr. Casey Maguire. I have training in the field of metabolic and membrane engineering to improve the capabilities of cells as factories. I joined Casey's research group to expand my research experience and work on innovative approaches for addressing emerging issues in gene therapy. Currently, I am working on rational and directed evolution strategies to produce AAV-vector based therapies that can transduce desired tissues. I envision that my research will contribute to achieve AAVs with higher transduction efficacy for target tissues.
