Hi, I am a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. I obtained my Bachelor’s in Genomics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). For the past years, I have been interested in how the adaptative immune system recognizes and attacks tumor cells. In addition, immune-tumor interaction and immunotherapy response are within …

Sabahat Rahman is a fourth-year undergraduate in biomedical engineering. She is working on a project to identify immunogenic viral antigens in mice and is excited to continue learning about personalized immunotherapies. In her free time, Sabahat enjoys reading memoirs, going to group workout classes, and finding new coffee shops in Baltimore!

Hi, I’m a first-year PhD student in Biomedical Engineering. Cancer evolution is a dynamic process; I’m interested in exploring and modeling the mechanisms and pathways involved. Aside from academics life, I love hiking, camping, playing mobile games, and trying delicious food.

Woof, I’m an honorary PhD student at Karchin’s Lab. I am interested in the importance of happiness in daily life, and I’m a professional therapist who makes people happy 🙂 So feel free to say hi and pet me if you encounter me on campus. In personal life, I’m also a gold medal athlete specializing …

Halo, apa kabar? I’m a 3rd year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science. I’ve been working with Dr. Karchin since early 2024 because I want to use my computational skills to support immunological research through methods development and data science. I’m particularly interested in immunogenic neoantigen prediction, which is key to developing effective …

Hi, I am a first-year PhD student in the Biomedical Engineering Department at Johns Hopkins University. Cancer is interesting in many aspects, but I am specifically intrigued by cancer progression and the mechanism behind it. I joined Karchin’s Lab during the first semester of my Master degree and am excited to continue my research in …
