Bryan Hsu is a PhD student in the Systems, Synthetic, and Quantitative Biology program at Harvard. In the Sabeti lab, he is working on improving the speed and sensitivity of disease diagnostic methods, with a focus on RT-qPCR. In addition to this, Bryan is interested in creating effective and useful computational tools that can better inform and address outbreaks as they develop.

Prior to joining the lab, Bryan graduated from UC Berkeley with departmental honors in Molecular and Cell Biology and Computer Science. At Berkeley, he worked with Alanna Schepartz to determine the functional impact of RNA structure in the peptidyltransferase center of the E. coli ribosome.

Outside of the lab, Bryan enjoys long hikes, biking, good food and attempting to recreate said food.
