Naomi is originally from Mauritius, and received her BA in Biology from Williams College. At Williams, Naomi worked with Zebrafish, and investigated the cardioprotective role of small heat shock proteins. In the Beroukhim lab, she is studying ways to therapeutically target cancers that harbor mutations in the Mismatch Repair pathway.

Fun Facts: Naomi loves dogs. Her best dog memories include going kayaking with her dog Ella (who lived for 17 years), and doing dog agility with her dog Zoon, who was twice Naomi’s weight, and probably three times her strength.
