Hi, I’m Sanjay! I graduated from the University of Washington (Class of 2026) with an BS in Bioengineering and minors in Applied Mathematics and Chemistry. During my time at UW, I was an undergraduate research assistant at the Kueh Lab at UW and the Newell Lab at Fred Hutch, focusing on immunoengineering research. My work involves studying the reprogramming of exhausted CD8+ T-cells in tumor microenvironments, with applications in cancer therapies and chronic infections. I am currently working on completing revision experiments for a paper in the Kueh Lab (formerly at UW, now at Yale), after which I will translate my mouse-model research into human systems. Outside of academics, I volunteer at the Multicare Tacoma General and Allenmore Hospitals, supporting clinical staff in patient care. Beyond the lab and hospital, I enjoy caring for my aquariums, hiking, and exploring the outdoors.
