“I conducted research in Dr. Ritchie’s and Dr. Chojnowski’s labs looking to apply knowledge I learned in class. Although I was pre-med at the time, learning from them led me into a research-based medical track. Working in their labs made me a competitive applicant for many different programs. I was selected for opportunities to do research at the University of Iowa and now at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I could not be more grateful for the staff at USCB for academically preparing me for my professional career. ”
