Ivan joined the team in 2022 as a Student Lab Assistant while studying biochemistry at UW who is passionate about clinical applications. Intrigued by molecular biology, Ivan is often found working with senior scientists around the lab while also making progress on his own projects. Outside the lab, Ivan tries his best not to stress too much about coursework and is often found watching the birds around campus or embracing his musical side at the piano (let him know if you need a pianist)!
