Mary is an HMS rising 4th year student who is working in the lab for a year exploring her interests in HNSCC research. She completed her undergraduate studies at Pomona College where she played on Pomona-Pitzer's tennis team (led her team as #1 singles and doubles, competed in the NCAA national championships, and earned All-American honors). She then spent two years at the Broad Institute in Aviv Regev's group prior to starting her medical studies. She is currently working on organoid HNSCC models and analysis of PBMC TCRs from our neoadjuvant HNSCC study.
