Angelica graduated from Rutgers University with a BA in Genetics. Her undergraduate work under Derek Gordon involved simulation of genotype and phenotype data, power estimations, and evaluation of sample size requirements. She then worked at the New York Genome Center in the Landau Lab, where she analyzed single-cell multi-omic data (scATAC-seq, scRNA-seq) to identify subpopulations in murine cells associated with reprogramming and pluripotency. Her current work at the Rabadan Lab is focused on identifying factors contributing to oncogenesis and identifying potential molecular targets for biomedical research.
