I hold an undergraduate degree (A.B. magna cum laude with Highest Honors in Biology) from Harvard University. I received my Ph.D. in Biology from Stanford University in 2006 and did my postdoctoral training at Harvard, where I was a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows from 2006 to 2009. I joined the faculty at the University of Toronto in 2009 and received tenure in 2014, when I was promoted to Associate Professor.
