Undergraduate Students

Ethan is an undergraduate student studying Biology and Computer Science. He is interested in using spatial gene expression data and histology to better understand tumor heterogeneity and the tumor microenvironment, working on spatial transcriptomic data, including cell type annotation using marker genes, spatial pattern analysis, and integration with histologic features. In his free time, he […]

Elise is a Duke undergraduate student studying Computer Science and Bioinformatics. She is currently working on modeling tumor-immune interactions in cancer immunotherapy, developing mathematical models to simulate how tumor cells and the immune system respond to treatments like PD-1 inhibitors and cellular therapies. Her research involves integrating clinical trial data with mathematical models that use […]

Maya is majoring in Neuroscience and Computer Science with a minor in Sociology. She has trained in flowcytometry, working with in vivo models and developed skills in immunological assays in the context of brain tumors. She is also learning to analyze whole genome and RNA sequencing data.

Anna is an undergraduate student studying Statistical Science and Biology. She is training to analyze Xenium spatial transcriptomics data using established and new pipelines that she is developing. She aspires to work in cancer research and plan to enroll in a data science PhD program. In her free time, she enjoys running, hiking, and doing […]
