Hi everyone! My name is Ori Orbach, and I am a junior from Philadelphia majoring in Chemical and Biological Engineering with a minor in Quantitative and Computational Biology. On campus, I serve as an editor for the Daily Princetonian’s photo section, a Peer Health Advisor, a board member of Princeton Alzheimer’s Buddies, and a BSE interactor. I am also actively involved in Jewish life on campus and conduct research in the Cristea Lab, where I study how specific viruses alter cellular microenvironments and ultimately influence cancer development.
