Athena is a postgraduate associate in the Jha Lab, and a recent graduate of Middlebury College with a B.A. in Applied Mathematics and Molecular Biology & Biochemistry. In the Jha Lab, she is applying machine learning techniques to identify higher-order chromatin hubs at higher resolutions beyond what current experimental methods can achieve, with the goal of understanding how three-dimensional genome organization influences gene regulation in both healthy and cancerous tissues. Previously, Athena has worked on the design and development of a low-cost microfluidic biosensor for cancer biomarker quantification. She hopes to carry these experiences into an MD-PhD program, with a long-term interest in oncology. Outside of the lab, Athena enjoys hiking, snowboarding, and knitting.
