Sara graduated from Princeton University in 2014 with a degree in Chemistry. She is currently an MD-PhD student in the Health Sciences & Technology (HST) MD Program. For her undergraduate thesis, she investigated the thermodynamics of central carbon metabolism under the guidance of Professor Joshua Rabinowitz. She then spent the 2014-2015 academic year studying the regulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system with Professor Aaron Ciechanover at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology. In the Sharpe lab, she is researching the evolution of the T-cell response to immunotherapy in melanoma. Outside of the lab (and classroom), she enjoys CrossFit: lifting heavy objects, doing push-ups upside down, rowing (on land, at least for now), and attempting pretty much any other crazy physical challenge thrown at her.
