Stina Mui Singel
Stina Mui Singel, M.D., Ph.D.
Dr. Mui graduated Magna Cum Laude with her BA from Harvard University in 1995 and entered the M.D.-Ph.D. Program at UCSD in 1996. She earned her Ph.D. in Neuroscieneces in 2002 and her M.D. in 2004 from UCSD. In 2001 Dr. Mui was awarded the Washington Square Health Foundation Scholar, The Salk Institute. Stina is currently a hematology-oncology fellow and has been doing research in systems biology of cancer in the laboratory of Dr. Trey Ideker, Department of Bioengineering. Currently, she is doing her clinical rotations in the department of hematology-oncology.
