Fion is a PhD Student in the Systems Biology department and currently still doing laboratory rotations. She is interested in utilizing computational and/or bioinformatics approaches to study the (epi)genetics and gene regulatory networks underlying diseases and development.
 
Prior to Columbia, she majored in Neuroscience and Molecular & Cellular Biology at Johns Hopkins University. Her previous research with Seth Blackshaw and Brian Clark primarily focused on elucidating the intrinsic program dictating retinal development.
