Hello, I'm Cristina Baciu

My work revolves around project and research management at Arizona State University, where I collaborate with interdisciplinary teams at the intersection of cooperation and cancer evolution research. I'm also the Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Arizona Cancer Evolution (ACE) Scholars Program and the Cooperation Scholars Program, two interdisciplinary mentoring initiatives for undergraduate students that provide research and professional development training while building community and fostering team and project-based work.
