About Kaitlyn Ying
I recently graduated from Purdue University, earning my B.S. in Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology. I am passionate about research and am interested in exploring how quantitative tools may enhance the experimental sciences. I am a first year Masters student at Yale University studying Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics, and I am eager to explore research in computational drug discovery. I am interested in exploring the important intersections between the life sciences, policy, business, and education, and I hope to use an interdisciplinary approach to contribute to scientific advancements in my career.
