applied math meets medical research | immunology and systems modeling

IN THIS STUDY VLOG we spend a Sunday reset day together and I give a deep-dive into how I became a mathematician, why I chose to work in medicine, and what exactly it is I do as a mathematical biologist. I also share updates on my postdoc journey and some recent reflections I’ve had while planning the rest of my career.
