Pia Reichl
MSc
DPhil Student
I joined the Chapman lab in January 2021 as a research assistant and became a DPhil student in October 2021. I obtained my BSc degree in Biology from ETH Zurich in Switzerland in 2018 and proceeded with a MSc in Cell Biology. After research internships at ETH Zurich and the University of Oxford, I completed my MSc thesis working on finding novel regulators of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia via CRISPR screening in Prof. Jacob Corn's lab at ETH Zurich in 2020. My research interests include DNA repair, genome engineering, and their impact on human health and disease.
