Nancy grew up in a small city outside of Los Angeles before moving to an even smaller town in Massachusetts for college. She graduated in 2020 with a B.A. in Biological Sciences from Smith College and joined the Sellers Lab right next door to the Beroukhim Lab at the Broad Institute. There, she ran high-throughput dual-guide CRISPR screens to identify novel paralog
dependencies in ovarian cancers, and in her free time, worked on a project seeking to elucidate conditional pathway activation as a synthetic lethality. As a Ph.D. student in the Beroukhim lab, she is interested in developing computational methods to discern and characterize mono-allelic expression in cancer.

Fun fact: I was named after Nancy Pelosi, and she ended up being my undergrad commencement speaker!
