I am Marlene Lin, a neuroimaging data analyst at the Rabinovici Lab at UCSF Fein Memory and Aging Center. My work focuses on applying computational approaches to characterize heterogeneity in neurodegenerative diseases and inform clinically relevant research.
Outside of work: wannabe conversation collector and serial hobbyist; current fixations include salsa dancing, junk journaling, symphony-going.

Fun fact? My friend got me a “already thinking about my next coffee” mug but I reserved it exclusively for tea drinking. Recipe: brown sugar syrup line the cup, hojicha, a splash of sikhye, topped with a sprinkle of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes and then 叹茶 :)
