Katie Riklin is a rising senior majoring in human biology with a concentration in epidemiology and human health. She is interested in different factors that influence disease susceptibility and causation, including genetic variation. She is working in Stephen Montgomery’s lab this summer using tools in bioinformatics to analyze variation in gene expression and dissect genotype to phenotype relationships. Katie is considering applying to medical school after Stanford. She is a member of the varsity sailing team at Stanford and also enjoys skiing, scuba diving, and the outdoors.
