I am an MD/PhD student at the University of Michigan, currently working on my PhD investigating how stem cells in the gut are regulated. It is my hope that this knowledge will someday be important for gastrointestinal cancer therapies and tissue regeneration technologies. My time as an undergraduate at Pitt was essential for getting me to this stage. Having an independent project in the lab as well as engaging and presenting at lab meetings and journal clubs was invaluable for creating a solid foundation for how to think about and carry out research.
