About Me

Hi, I'm Lucas Sant'Anna. I grew up in San Jose, California, and I completed my BS in Biomedical Engineering and Physics at Northwestern University. I'm currently a PhD student in Bioengineering at Stanford University. I'm interested in bridging computation and experimentation in synthetic biology research.

​

At Northwestern, I worked in the Kamat Lab where I study novel drug delivery technologies and materials such as phase-separated liposomes. I've also worked with Dr. Shenoy at Penn using computational models to study the structure and dynamics of chromatin. 

​

Besides my research, I'm also interested in graphic design and scientific visualization. I've worked as a music journalist and graphic designer for WNUR, Northwestern's student-run radio station, as well as Mayfest Productions, the organization that puts on Dillo Day, the largest student-run musical festival in the nation.
