Victoria completed her undergraduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley where she majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology. While at UC Berkeley, she spent three years in the laboratory of Dr. Elçin Ünal. Here she investigated the dynamics of gene regulation throughout meiosis in the context of cellular quality control and aging in S. cerevisiae. Beginning her PhD at Caltech, she is interested in understanding the gene regulatory pathways controlling cellular differentiation during early embryogenesis.
