Nadine Khoury is an undergraduate at Harvard University studying Bioengineering. She began her work at the lab through Harvard’s PRISE fellowship (Program for Research in Science and Engineering) and continues to research new methods to deplete abundant genetic human background in viral samples using wet lab and computational techniques.
Previously, Nadine conducted her high school science research project on neuroprosthetics in the BrainGate Lab at Brown University under the mentorship of Dr. Beata Jarosiewicz, studied nanopore sequencing during her freshman seminar at Harvard led by Dr. Alain Viel, and researched the genetics of circadian rhythms in the Laboratory of Genetics at Rockefeller University headed by Dr. Michael Young.
Aside from research, Nadine enjoys studying foreign languages, serving on Harvard’s Undergraduate Council, participating in Harvard’s Institute of Politics, and playing, listening, and composing music.
