-    "bio": "- love studying all things viruses and their funky forms of noncanonical protein translation (currently working on building a pipeline for characterizing such proteins @Schaffer Lab)\n- this past summer worked @Genentech engineering precision gene editing enzymes using ML based approaches and validating them through numerous molecular and cell based assays. also worked at Bakar Labs the summer before building bioinformatics pipelines for identifying viral variants of oncolytic therapeutic potential. my work actually is surprisingly wet lab heavy, but I find computational biology incredibly useful for informing the decisions I make with my wet lab based experiments and for the downstream data analysis which is why I joined this club.\n- my work often involves combining science research with entrepreneurship with public policy. i've worked on three entrepreneurial projects over the course of my undergrad journey and founded ventures across edtech, biotech, and healthtech that have been accepted into programs like Big ideas, NSF I-Corps, Berkeley StEP (student entrepreneurship program), eHUB, and for this upcoming fall semester, Skydeck Pad-13.\n- ran two half marathons and currently training for a third. overall i'm into early morning running, lifting, pilates, and overall enjoy dabbling in new sports\n- danced on a nationally ranked dance team for the first two years of undergrad and traveled + competed across the country. I love to try new dance forms for fun and tried out ballroom and salsa junior year (I have been now dancing for 15+ years)\n- watching a rom-com or feel good sitcom and making homemade pasta is how i like to relax\n- fun fact: I used to coach TEDx speakers",
+    "bio": "Hi! My name is Priyam Baruah and I am a 4th year student studying Molecular and Cell Biology (Immunology+Molecular Medicine emphasis) with minors in Public Policy and Bioengineering. My research experience involves engineering gene therapies across the Schaffer Lab, Bakar Labs, and Genentech! My work in the academic lab is heavily centered around characterizing noncanonical viral proteins that can be engineered in the context of oncolytic virotherapies. Outside of research, I am heavily involved with the entrepreneurial ecosystem and I’ve started ventures across edtech and healthtech through programs such as Big Ideas, NSF I Corps, Berkeley StEP and for this upcoming fall semester, Skydeck Pad-13.\n\nOutside of the lab and entrepreneurship I enjoy running and am currently training for my third half marathon. I’ve also danced for 15+ years with the last two years competing across the nation through Natya@Berkeley. Occasionally I like to try new dance forms such as Salsa and Ballroom!",
