Hannaneh Kabir
PhD student
Hannaneh is from Tehran, Iran. She received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Sharif University of Technology. Currently, she is a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley. Hannaneh is interested in applying
microbial sequencing techniques to understand the relationship between gut microbiome dysbiosis and liver diseases. Besides her professional life, she enjoys traveling, hiking, and watching movies.

I have an interest research in larger biological scale, such as tissues and blood vessels, coupled with machine learning to discover patterns in the body. So far, I’ve explored the changes in brain tissue in response to a stroke in the brain as well as the nuclear pore complex and how cargo molecules make it through the complex based on how many binding spots it’s got. I look forward to doing more research and discovering much more in Professor Mofrad’s lab.

Anahi Barroso
Anahi Barroso
Hi! My name is Anahi Barroso. I’m a third-year student pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering. My passion lies in exploring computational research, particularly in the field of computational biology. I’m intrigued by how computational biology uses computer algorithms and mathematical models to study biological systems. My aim is to use computational research to bridge the gap between engineering and biology, making a significant impact on healthcare.
