Clinician scientist with a passion for immunity and infectious diseases.

Digging into viral fitness is like entering a thrilling race against microscopic champions. I’m aiming to be the relentless contender, decoding their speedy maneuvers while striving to outpace their viral athleticism!

From 9 to 5 searching for human (immunodeficieny) viral content, subsequently try to land the big shots!

Armed with labcoats and pipettes, we are unraveling the mysteries of HIV, one envelope sequence at a time.

With a background in microbiology, I have always enjoyed the small things in life - joining the Schommers Lab has deepened my fascination with HIV’s adaptability, making every day in the lab into an exciting puzzle to solve!

Besides sailing I put the FUN into Function of broadly neutralizing Antibodies!

As a media designer turned molecular biomed student, am I as adaptive as the HI Virus yet?? Designing antibodies is almost as fun as designing figures (so for now I'll stick to the figures).

I joined the Schommers lab as a Postdoc in 2022 and currently playing ‘hide and seek’ with proviruses residing in the HIV latent reservoir. Besides playing this game in the lab, you will find me dancing Salsa and Bachata somewhere downtown, working on my DJing skills, or trying to see how much weight I can handle at the gym. As they said, you are the company you keep; just like the ever-evolving HIV, my interests keep changing, as I am now learning to make good cocktail mixes, and hopefully, will own a nice cocktail spot someday. Fingers crossed!
