Sophie is an Associate Computational Biologist in the Beroukhim Lab hailing from Groveland, MA. She recently graduated from Harvard College with a degree in Integrative Biology and Earth & Planetary Sciences. Sophie spent her undergraduate years at the Arnold Arboretum researching genetic variation in urban red oak populations. Though she misses the trees, she’s enjoyed transitioning to the world of cancer genomics!

Fun fact: Sophie grew up on a small farm, featuring goats, sheep, chickens, and two miniature horses (which, she learned through experience, one should not try to ride).
