Mimi trained as a pediatric neuro-oncologist in Melbourne, Australia, before pursuing a PhD in cancer biology. She moved to Boston to complete a further sub-specialty in pediatric neuro-oncology at Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center before joining the Beroukhim Lab in 2012. Under Rameen’s mentorship, Mimi has studied genomic and epigenomic drivers of pediatric brain tumors and mechanisms of resistance to cancer therapeutics. Mimi started her own laboratory at DFCI in the fall of 2017.

Fun fact: Mimi’s favorite travel experiences include backpacking through Europe, snorkeling with wild pods of dolphins in New Zealand, hiking through gorges in Central Australia, star gazing in Uluru, horse-riding through tropical rainstorms in Daintree rainforest, and chasing the Northern Lights in Iceland.
