      I was born in a small town in Canada called saskatoon and I went to school there. I then moved to Vancouver, BC, and worked there for a while. Then I moved to Houston, TX and did mreo school, now I live in San Diego. I also go to a lot of conferences in the USA (MA, FL, WA, CA, NY) and I have been to europe and will be going to Germany this summer to give a talk!

      I am from Istanbul, Turkey and I studied in the capital city Ankara during college and my Master’s degree. Then I came to East Lansing, Michigan to enroll in Genetics PhD program with the help of Fulbright scholarship. I traveled to Seattle, San Diego, St Louis and Istanbul for scientific meetings and workshops.

      I started my research during college in Alaska. I then lived in Tempe, Arizona for five years while getting my PhD. Afterwards, I received a Fulbright Fellowship to conduct research in Zurich, Switzerland for a year. Last year, I spent a month on Colombia to learn about their native medicines. Now, I am in Phoenix, Arizona. For scientific conferences, I have visited Amsterdam, Washington DC, San Diego, New Orleans, Las Vegas, La Quinta, CA, and the Grand Canyon.

      Hi Haleigh,

      I was born and raised in Chongqing, a city in southwest China. I moved to southeast China for college. In my senior year, I went to UC Davis for an exchange program. I was so in love with California and decided to get a Master’s degree there. Right now I’m in Pennsylvania, because Penn State has a very strong Bioinformatics group.

      I really appreciate the opportunity I have to travel, and see how people live their lives in different parts of the world.

      I really only stayed in Illinois through my PhD. Then I moved to Denver for my post-doctoral fellowship. I have gotten to travel a lot for work to San Francisco, Boston, Florida- and this summer year I’m going to Florence Italy to give a talk on melanoma!
