Tigerfish is a software tool I am developing to design oligonucleotide-based FISH probes capable of performing multiplexed imaging of satellite DNA in single cells. Applications of Tigerfish may be used to validate genome assemblies, survey chromosome aberrations, and study 3D genome organization in highly repetitive genomic regions.

Genome Sciences Association for the Inclusion of Marginalized Students (GSAIMS) is a group of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars interested in expanding the spaces and support for Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, people with disabilities, DACA Dreamers, first-generation scholars, and those who have experienced oppression in STEM. We are a trainee led organization in the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington. We aim to provide peer support, mentorship, and guidance to aid individuals as they transition and navigate through their graduate and professional careers. We seek to provide opportunities for students to participate in events that will allow for inclusive and intersectional dialogue for all participants. GSAIMS aspires to provide a closer connection to more diverse student organizations within UW and outreach opportunities in Seattle.
