May 2026–present

Hi, I’m Isabel! I received my Ph.D. in Computational Biology from Cornell, focusing on the spread and containment of gene drives across continuous space environments. I am currently working with the University of California Malaria Initiative to model a modification gene drive that blocks malaria transmission in mosquitoes. In my spare time, I like to play with my dog, read, and listen to Taylor Swift.
