Maile Jim

Undergraduate Student | Biological Engineering, MIT

 
I am a current undergraduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) studying biological engineering. Over the past few years, I have worked in designing synthetic biology gene circuits, developing an RNA sequencing analysis pipeline, and synthesizing and testing RNA interference oligonucleotides. Currently, I am working in David Bartel’s lab at the Whitehead Institute on my senior thesis, researching miRNA regulation and degradation.

By using novel ideas in biology, chemistry, and engineering, I hope to solve medical problems in drug delivery, human diseases, and nucleotide engineering.

I also love backpacking, cycling, and traveling!
