Kiran received her BA in Mathematics with a minor in Classics from Williams College. She is developing computational methods to detect recurrent driver rearrangements, including complex rearrangements, in cancer genomes. She is applying these methods across all cancers, with a deep dive into the most deadly brain tumors in children.

Fun Fact: Kiran writes short stories in her spare time! Coincidentally, shortly before she applied to the Beroukhim Lab, she wrote a short story about a young girl with brain cancer.
