Background & Interests

Biography

Josh is a first-year Microbiology graduate student at MIT. He is interested in applying single-cell genomics to study infectious disease microenvironments.

Josh grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he graduated with a B.S. in Physics from the University of Utah in 2019. During his time as an undergraduate, he worked with Professor Saveez Saffarian to elucidate the mechanisms by which host factors facilitate HIV virion assembly and egress.

Outside the lab, Josh enjoys cycling, running, and exploring the Boston area.
