Salil hails from Ohio and completed his B.S./M.S. at the University of Chicago. From there he completed doctoral work in immunobiology with Michael Brenner at Harvard Medical School before pursuing residency training in Pathology at Massachusetts General Hospital and postdoctoral training with MIT faculty member Phillip Sharp. When he is not chasing difficult questions in the lab he engages in the even more difficult task of cheering for his hometown Cincinnati sports teams.

Jyotsna is from India, where she worked on RNA/DNA interactions with chromatin in S. pombe. She later worked at the NIH on polyglutamine aggregates and University of Connecticut on RNA post-translational modifications.  Currently, Jyotsna is exploring underlying mechanisms of non-genetic heterogeneity and locus memory using functional genomics. In her free time, she loves to learn new skills and admire the beauty of nature.

Enrico is from Italy, where he worked at the Molecular Biotechnology Center in Turin with Prof. Guido Tarone and Prof. Paolo Provero for his PhD. In the Garg lab, Enrico is focusing on the application of computational and statistical methods to build better cancer diagnostics using machine learning approaches. In his free time, Enrico loves to swim, cook and - weather permitting - snowboard, climb, hike, golf and sail.

Rodrigo is from Brazil, where he studied control and automation engineering and teleinformatics engineering at the University of Fortaleza. He moved to Canada where he pursued his PhD and later did a postdoc at the University of Manitoba developing a unique 3D centertline image extraction algorithm. In the Garg lab, Rodrigo's interests are in image processing, feature extraction (orthogonal moments, PCA, ICA), machine learning, biomechanics, and genomics.  Rodrigo also enjoys home remodeling as an avid do-it-yourselfer.

Nabiha is from West Haven, Connecticut. She is on the pre-health track, interested in oncology and patient advocacy. Nabiha is actively involved with the Muslim Student Organization and Community Health Educators. In the Garg lab, Nabhia is studying how enhancers for specific genes driving developmental transitions affect different cell states, leading to phenotypic resistance to cancer therapies. In her free time, she loves reading, exploring New Haven, and volunteering.

Lynette grew up in Orange County, California, and is interested in studying transcription factor binding kinetics in the context of cellular differentiation.  She is also intrigued by the development of rational design techniques in protein engineering.  Lynette chooses to strategically invest her ever-waning free time into playing Genshin Impact and watching Korean cooking vlogs.
