Terry J. Prins, BS, MS

About

Terry is a graduate student completing his PhD research within the Lai Lab. He has a background in various programming languages (C#, R, HTML, CSS, Python, etc.) and is interested in utilizing computers to solve complex neurobiological problems and outstanding biological questions. He focuses currently on surveying the epitranscriptomic landscape in glioma and how understanding the epitranscriptome may influence glioma prognoses and tumor progression.
