Sonal Kumar

Neuroscience PhD Candidate

Bio

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Neuroscience program at the Jackson Laboratory in collaboration with Tufts University. I am carrying out my thesis research in the Carter lab, where I leverage high-performance computing environments and statistical modeling to analyze integrated multiomics data in order to study Alzheimer’s disease.

Prior to beginning my PhD, I did my masters in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics from the Institute of Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology, after getting a bachelor of science in Biotechnology from St. Xavier’s College, Ahmedabad.

On this website, you can find updates on my educational experiences, professional and scientific activities.
