She received her BA in Biology from Harvard College, M.Phil. in Medical Sciences from Cambridge University (United Kingdom), and MD and PhD from Harvard Medical School, with PhD research in the biology of hematologic malignancies with D. Gary Gilliland MD, PhD. She completed internal medicine residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and hematology and oncology fellowship training at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital. Her postdoctoral fellowship training has been conducted under the mentorship of Levi A.
