Hannah Park

I am an undergraduate student at Harvard College concentrating in Integrative Biology and Mathematics. I joined the Raychaudhuri Lab in early 2023 and have a keen interest in the T cell receptor (TCR). Specifically, I am focused on predictively quantifying TCR expression and characterizing genetic variants that regulate its expression. Prior to undergrad, I developed my interest in genetics and immunology under the supervision of Dr. Benjamin Tycko at the Hackensack Meridian Health Center for Discovery and Innovation. My 4-year project focused on medullary and cortical thymic epithelial cell differentiation and its influence on thymocyte development in a knockout mouse model of Down syndrome. Outside of the lab, I enjoy playing the violin and being a congressional advocate for Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding.
