About Me
Love science and research? I do! I’m an extremely enthusiastic researcher with a Ph.D. from the Cell and Molecular Biology program offered jointly from SDSU and UCSD. My dissertation research was on viral persistence in the stem cells of the central nervous system. I enjoy engaging in cross-functional, multi-disciplinary, collaborative team endeavors. I am meticulous in organizing and documenting my research findings and have created customized databases for improved knowledge management. I also enjoy coding/programming and building computers on the side, and have created/managed web sites and databases for academic life science laboratories. I hope to help facilitate the Su Lab’s collaborative efforts.

In case you missed it, a sneak peek at what's in store for MyGene.info was posted last week, so it's only FAIR to share our plans for MyVariant. Although the development of MyVariant.info naturally followed that of MyGene.info, the scale of variant annotation data presented a difficult challenge that required additional architectural and performance considerations. At the time MyVariant.info was...
