Anabel Moore

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT

Anabel grew up in both Seattle, Washington and the Caribbean, and is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Jamaica. At Yale, she is double-majoring in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry (concentration: medicine) and the History of Art, with a certificate in Global Health from the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs. She is fascinated by the potential of chemistry to develop and improve therapeutics against human disease. She previously worked as a thoracic surgery intern at the Université Côte D’Azur, also in the Politi Lab at the Yale School of Medicine, where she explored the effect of tumor suppressor gene loss on lung tumor growth in CRISPR-Cas9-engineered mouse models with an aim towards improving the lung adenocarcinoma drug osimertinib against drug-resistant tumors.

Outside of academics, Anabel is a former elite soccer player, having represented both Yale and Jamaica at the varsity (NCAA) and international level (CONCACAF/FIFA), respectively. She now volunteers at HAVEN Free Clinic and has worked in a variety of roles in the field of art history, including as Editor-in-Chief of the Yale Undergraduate Journal of Art and Art History and as a Nancy Horton Bartels Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art. She is considering either a MD or MD-PhD program in chemical biology. You can often spot her running around campus with Yale Club Running or playing squash.
