Interdisciplinarity
For my Interdisciplinarity experience, I decided to focus on my growing involvement with Bioinformatics/Quantitative Biology and the more technical sides of the Science. I see the world trending towards these computational skills and using them in wherever field you end up. Computer Science is no longer reserved for Computer Scientists and I would like to become well versed and comfortable with utlizing code and data analysis tools.
Coding
Learning how to code
(focusing on RStudio and Python)
Research
I had begun research studying the genetic determinants of mortality and longevity Summer 2020 with the Ritchie Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. Through this I learned so much about how patient health records were used and genetic risk scores are assigned. I'll be with them Summer 2021 as well!
Bioinformatics project on Monte Carlo Simulations
One of my first R projects
