Grace Lam 

Grace is a research intern in the Petrov lab (2016-2019). She is currently a senior at Palo Alto High School. She is interested in discovering how machine learning and informatics can be used to model features in evolutionary biology. She is passionate about Biology and Computer Science, and wants to pursue research that is cross-disciplinary and borders both fields. She is interested in studying how adaptive mutations affect the gene expression and organism-level phenotypes of organisms from a bioinformatics standpoint. She is being mentored by the postdoctoral fellow in the lab, Kerry Geiler-Samerotte.
