Laboratory of Oral Mucosal Immunity at U of MN

Kevin is a graduate student in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology PhD program at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. He has undergraduate degrees in computer science, financial management, and economics. His previous research as a Master’s student involved identifying blood-based biomarkers of inflammatory diseases at the Mayo Clinic through computational methods. He recently completed a graduate data science internship at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis (2024–2025). He will be investigating the role of tertiary lymph node structures in chronic oral inflammation. Outside of research, Kevin is an avid tennis player, having played throughout high school and as an undergraduate.
