Nil received her Ph.D. degree in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at UNC-Chapel Hill. During this training, under mentorship of Dr. Jason Stein, she investigated genetically altered cell-type-specific gene regulation during human neural differentiation. In Beroukhim lab, she develops algorithms to explore genetic and other molecular co-occurrences driving cancer progression and drug resistance.

Fun fact: Nil is a big fan of women’s volleyball, and her favourite player is Tijana Boskovic because she is great!
