Scott uses experimental and computational approaches to develop cellular therapies to combat resistance to anticancer agents. He uses synthetic biology techniques to design genetic circuits that leverage evolution and maximize the effect of therapeutic genes.
Scott also uses CRISPR functional screens to study cancer cells. He uses compressed genomic sgRNA libraries that capture genome-wide information in order to probe drug function, gene function, and epistasis.
Scott graduated from Villanova University in 2017, where he majored in Mechanical Engineering and Biology. In his free time, Scott enjoys backpacking, traveling, and perfecting his buttered noodles recipe.
