About

Biography

Linda is a MD-PhD student interested in computational genomics, and particularly how we can better represent, understand, and learn from human genetic diversity.

She graduated from Swarthmore College with high honors in Biochemistry & Computer Science and is a proud QuestBridge alum. As an undergraduate, she explored non-canonical DNA structures and their interactions with small molecule ligands. After graduating, she worked on evaluating the genotoxicity of therapeutic gene editing strategies and developing tools to facilitate more comprehensive off-target analysis.

Outside of academics, Linda co-leads the Yale School of Medicine's first-generation & low-income student group (YFLI) and the MD-PhD program's student perspectives on identity, diversity, and equity at Yale (SPIDEY) mentorship program.
