Beyond the Science
The ultimate goal of science is to promote human flourishing — that should include active scientists and trainees.
Mission
- To develop tools to extract information from cells and illuminate systems-level understanding of mammalian biology
- To develop tools and strategies to engineer and control cells, enabling advance cellular therapeutics
- To train and equip scientists to accomplish the mission and contribute to society
Values
- Honesty & Transparency: A commitment to openness in research
- Integrity & Diligence: Making reports accurate and thorough
- Authenticity & Inclusion: Welcoming others, honoring differences
- Humility & Forgiveness: Restoring relationships between imperfect people

Mentoring
Over the last decade, I have served as a mentor to dozens of students, both graduates and undergraduates. For me, mentorship goes beyond scientific development and experimental progress. I want my students to be able to independently craft their vision of success and integrate that into the broader vision for their life.
