Alexander Hopkins

I graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in June 2010, having majored in Biology (Course VII), with a concentration in Science, Technology and Society.  I worked at the Broad Institute, in the Cancer program trying to determining the molecular basis for cachexia, a common symptom of many cancers, as well as using new models for predictive toxicogenomics.  I am currently a second year Graduate Student in the laboratory of Elizabeth Jaffee at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Digital and Analog photography are my primary interests, but I also enjoy golf and sailing when I can.  I have two sisters, Amy and Andrea and parents Peggy and John.
