While I joined this research journey comparatively late, the timing ultimately did not diminish the profound impact it had on shaping my personal and professional growth. With the guidance of my professor and seniors, coupled with my own hard work, I culminated in writing a paper that was accepted to an international conference in medical imaging (MICCAI 2024), a notable achievement in the eld. Additionally, I had the opportunity to share and present my research to professors and fellow students and was honored with the UROP Champion Award. These experiences not only broadened my academic horizons but also profoundly shaped my future career aspirations. The skills, mindset, and accomplishments I acquired during this journey have become invaluable assets that will undoubtedly serve me well in any professional endeavor I pursue.

It has taught me to navigate the complexities of interdisciplinary research, where I needed to extract necessary information from various elds without extensive prior experience and to communicate effectively with team members from diverse backgrounds so that everyone’s scienti c intentions were considered. Moreover, my engagement with commercial sequencing providers further enhanced my understanding of the biotechnology industry, providing me with a holistic view of the modern research landscape where commercial and academic collaborations were becoming an integral part. As I continued to contribute to this ground-breaking yet challenging project, I was reminded of the potential impact our work could have on gene therapy. It is a driving force that motivates me daily, inspiring me to delve deeper into biomedical informatics and its power to help advance both basic and translational medicine. The experience has not only enriched my technical expertise but has also sharpened my leadership skills, preparing me to take on future challenges in the dynamic eld of bioengineering. iii
