I graduated from Pitt in 2012 with a BS in Biological Sciences. Because I majored in general biology, I was able to take a variety of classes, from Neuroscience to Human Physiology to Developmental Biology. In addition to coursework, I also worked in the Brodsky lab researching protein degradation using yeast as a model system. Throughout my time in the lab, I was funded through HHMI fellowships and the Beckman Scholars Fellowship. I believe that Pitt did a good job of providing opportunities and fellowships for undergraduates looking to experience research. I enjoyed the scientific process during my time doing research, and I decided to continue on to a PhD program in Biomedical Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. If you are interested in Biology and Medicine, I believe Pitt offers many opportunities and a great foundation for your future endeavors, especially graduate school and medical school.
