Selena Ding
About Me
Selena graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a major in Molecular and Cell Biology: Developmental Genetics. As an undergraduate, she spent summers at the National Cancer Institute and MD Anderson Cancer Center under the direction of Dr. Alex Compton and Dr. Georgios Karras, respectively. In Dr. Compton’s lab, she studied cellular mechanisms of antiviral infection inhibition. With Dr. Karras, she investigated non-heat shock mediated functions of heat shock protein 90. After graduation, she spent 2.5 years at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the lab of Dr. Tuomas Tammela where she elucidated a mechanism of how aging leads to decline in tumorigenic potential of the cell of origin for lung cancer.
She is super excited to start exploring the cutting edge research opportunities at Mount Sinai. Specifically, her research interests lie at the intersection of cancer development, immunology, and (epi)genetics. Outside of the lab and classroom, her hobbies include rating restaurants, art using various mediums, traveling, and starting new hobbies (currently: nail art).
