Andrea Lee
Departments
Andrea Lee’s interest in neuroscience was built on research she conducted in 2015 studying migraines in female rats. She came to love all aspects of a researcher’s life, from learning new techniques to teaching other students.
Lee earned her bachelor’s degree in neuroscience in 2018 from Washington State University in Pullman. Lee’s interests include neurobiology and cellular mechanisms of brain tumors. Since staring at St Jude, she has discovered an interest in genome engineering utilizing CRISPR Cas9.
“I want to have a positive impact on the world,” she says. “Ultimately, I hope that my research can have a significant impact in the field of genome engineering.”
