Angelina graduated from UCLA (GO BRUINS!) in 2026 with a degree in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics. She is interested in furthering the field of immuno-oncology by investigating how factors in the tumor microenvironment can be harnessed to combat cancers. Currently, she is working on developing methods of characterizing cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the brain and studying how CAFs impact immune cell migration in the TME. She is also involved in optimizing the administration of novel therapeutics to malignancies in the brain via virally mediated delivery systems. When she's not busy being a lab rat, she enjoys beli-ing new spots across the Bay Area, binging the latest dramas on Netflix, and channeling her inner Chopped contestant in the kitchen.
