Travis grew up in Hawaii and went to school at the University of California, Berkeley, double majoring in physics and integrative biology. He worked in Rameen’s lab as a graduate student in the biophysics program of Harvard University. While a member of the Lab, his research focused on uncovering new cancer vulnerabilities predicted by copy-number alterations using computational genomics. After obtaining his PhD, Travis enrolled in medical school at Harvard and MIT’s Health Sciences Technology program, and is now a resident at UCSF. Travis hopes to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Beroukhim as a successful oncology physician scientist.

Fun fact: In his free time, Travis is an avid hiker and amateur gardener.
