Presidents

The Yale Postgraduate Association (YPGA) is lead by two Presidents, who oversee the activities of all committees. Below are their bios:

Druv Khanduja
email: dhruv.khanduja@yale.edu

Dhruv joined his current position as a postgraduate associate at Yale, where he is working on developing a way to model the development of lymphoma subtypes in mouse models, which closely resemble human disease. The ability to intersect basic science with something as tangible as patient outcomes has helped in shaping his current path towards applying for graduate programs in immunobiology.

Tracy (Tae Ji) Lee
email: taeji.lee@yale.edu

Before joining the Ophthalmology & Visual Science department at Yale, Tracy graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.S. in biomedical engineering. Growing up, Tracy played golf for 15 years and aspired to play professionally at one point, but she found a new passion in vision-related research. She was fascinated at how such a small organ, the eye, could process one of the most important sensory stimuli: vision. As a first-year postgrad, Tracy works under Dr. In-Jung Kim, where she studies the development of the visual pathway in relation to visually-triggered behavior.
