Frank is a junior at Harvard College studying Molecular & Cellular Biology and English with a secondary in Statistics. His interests are in integrating computational and wet-lab methods to holistically study infectious disease modeling, sequencing, and detection, with focus on scalable global health interventions. Within the lab he is working on population-adjusted representation of outbreak phylogenetic trees to create an intuitive and accessible view of how disease spreads through populations. He is also working on sequencing and analysis of Lassa virus patient samples, and creating low-cost multiplexed STI panels. Previously he has experience in using machine learning for biological modeling. Outside of the lab he is passionate about feature writing and graphic design.
His work has been supported by the Herchel Smith Fellowship and the Harvard Global Health Institute.
