Meet Negin Farzad, a second year PhD student in Biomedical Engineering!
.
“I studied radiology and radiotherapy at SBMU, Tehran, Iran. One day when I was setting up a patient for radiotherapy, I told myself there should be many more ways to treat cancer with more efficiency and less side effects. I decided to study and do research in BME at University of New Haven, where I received my master’s degree. My passion for research didn’t stop and I found myself interested in genetics and I became a postgrad at Yale University in Rong Fan lab. And now I am a second year PhD student at Yale with so many technologies to answer fundamental biology questions via mapping transcriptomics, epigenomics and proteomics.

I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and going to the beaches. I also enjoy baking on rainy and snowy days.”
