Genomics
TKS has been an eye-opening experience of learning and growth that has shown me how much an individual can do with their curiosity and ambition, and has given me countless valuable life skills and mindsets.
Before TKS, I was super passionate about STEM for social good and issues like climate change, but I didn’t know how to pursue that or get started on making a real impact. I wished for and looked for a productive place for my curiosity, but couldn’t find one until TKS. TKS gives me the opportunities and tools to start working on meaningful things with passionate people that have similar interests and ambitions.
At TKS, I’m currently researching the applications of genomics and gene editing in solving the climate crisis, diving into Alzheimer’s epigenetics, and have recently begun researching pharmacogenomics. I’m also working on doing a simulation or project within the genomics field.
