WinnerBio
I’m an undergraduate at Rutgers University studying Chemistry and Mathematics, with a strong interest in metallodrug discovery. I’m motivated by the idea of contributing to both science and medicine, and I plan to pursue an MD/PhD in medicinal chemistry to bridge the gap from bench to bedside. I’m driven by the real world impact research can have, especially in developing new therapies, and by the curiosity that comes with pushing scientific boundaries.
