Duy is a graduate student in Biomedical & Biological Sciences (BBS) at The Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. He received his B.A. in Biochemistry and Pre-Medicine at Augustana College. He then worked as a research technician in Dr. Bishoy Faltas’s lab, and subsequently led a multidisciplinary project studying the interplay of mutagenesis and ecDNA in shaping urothelial cancer evolution. In the lab now he is interested in the relationships between oncogenic transcription factors and their associated cofactors.
