Personal bio
Melissa Ko earned an S.B. in biology from MIT and a PhD in cancer biology from Stanford University. Her graduate research created novel computational pipelines to make sense of the deluge of single-cell high-dimensional data collected by biologists. Using visualizations and modeling, Melissa revealed mechanisms of drug resistance in cancer and identifies more effective treatment combinations. Melissa has taught biology at Stanford University, Foothill College, and Santa Clara University. As a Thinking Matters Fellow, Melissa teaches Breaking Codes, Living with Viruses, Our Genome, and The Cancer Problem. Outside of work, Melissa enjoys cooking, playing video games, reading poetry, gathering with friends for DnD, and going on walks in the park with her dog. Favorite Courses |
