I am a senior at Tufts University studying Biology. My project uses CRISPR-Cas9 technology to study repeat length variation in repetitive proteins. Currently, I am looking at a prion-forming protein and studying how repeat length variation in several repetitive domains can impact the ability for the protein to form prions.

I have been working alongside Computer Science professors since the summer of 2018, pursuing independent research projects aimed at advancing the field of Systems Biology with the help of Machine Learning techniques. My main areas of interest are Machine Learning (also DL and RL), Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computing, which I like to consider both from the engineering as well as the philosophical perspective.

I was an undergraduate scholar at Tufts University from 2019-2021, and am now a master's student in medieval studies at Yale University. My research for Laidlaw focused on the English Investiture Controversy, a 12th century conflict between English King Henry I and Pope Paschal II, and an important predecessor to the English Reformation. I'm passionate about the way historical politics and diplomacy can inform modern policy, and also the way power is created, cemented, and used by ruling elite. I also have a deep interest in broadening the scope of history. Instead of focusing on one time and place, I want to develop broad connections across cultures to understand both the human condition and the trends of human civilization. No historical event was inevitable, and comparative history is essential to understanding how and why certain cultures have come to dominate others. This, in turn, is essential to dismantling the power structures which remain today, and creating a more equitable world.

I am a master's student at Erasmus University Rotterdam studying Clinical Psychology. I have a strong interest in Autism Spectrum Disorder research.

I am an undergraduate student at Tufts University pursuing a degree in International Relations and Civic Studies, with a concentration in culture and identity systems. One of my greatest passions is participating in social activism initiatives and finding productive and creative ways to combat pressing issues and work toward positive global change. Through my experience as a researcher, I have been able to explore how various socially-constructed systems of oppression and privilege interlock and affect one another to create concrete patterns that impact people’s lived experiences and shape their worldviews. Every day, I continue to learn more about how to be a productive activist and ally in my community, and I am always open to new experiences and challenges. I absolutely love working with people, and in my life, I hope to have the opportunity to continue learning more about the world and its inhabitants.

I am a senior at Tufts University and I recently completed my Laidlaw research project. My project was titled "Curing Hepatitis C, Treating AIDS: A comparative analysis of regulation and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry". I used a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis to conduct a comparison of the development of drugs to treat Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS, with the goal of identifying what factors led to the lengthy delay of effective Hepatitis C drugs. The Laidlaw program gave me the opportunity to undertake archival work in Boston and London and to share my research with a growing group of multidisciplinary and dedicated students.

Currently a doctoral student in UCLA's Department of History. Undergraduate Thesis: "To Angola, With Solidarity: Pan-Africanism, anti-colonialism, black radicalism, 1972-1977." Interests: Lusophone Africa; 20th century anti-colonialism; Pan-Africanism;

Andrew Singleton has recently joined the Tufts-Laidlaw Undergraduate Research and Leadership Programme team as a Programme Administrator and is excited to continue to elevate the Laidlaw Programming for current and future scholars. He joined the programme from Venture Café, which connects and educates the entrepreneurial and innovation community in Boston through programs/spaces/events and many other cities around the world. He has a B.S. from MIT in Biology and a background in social-impact enterprises, wind-power, user-computer-interfaces, as well as computer network design. In his spare time, Andrew enjoys travel, hiking, and wildlife photography.
