Research
I joined the Pantophlet Lab as a volunteer in 2022, where I began contributing to projects on mutational pathways that drive the development of broadly reactive neutralizing antibodies against the conserved stem of influenza hemagglutinin. This work supports efforts to improve existing influenza vaccines and guide the design of next-generation approaches. In 2023, I completed a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences at Simon Fraser University, with a focus on cells, molecules, and physiology, alongside a minor in Health Sciences (life sciences stream). My academic background deepened my interest in immunology and vaccine research.
Being part of the lab has been an invaluable opportunity to learn and grow as a researcher, and I look forward to continuing to develop my skills while pursuing further education and professional opportunities in this field.
Other Interests
I like watching movies and reading fictions in my free time. I love nature and often go on walks along the beach or in the woods. I have also been playing the flute for 14 years and enjoy playing or listening to music to relax. Additionally, I love spending time with my family and my dog, as well as cooking and bird-watching.
