I chose CMB because of its large pool of potential faculty with a wide-range of research interests, which this was helpful when trying to find a thesis advisor/mentor.
What lessons have you learned throughout your graduate career so far?
Mentorship is key throughout the graduate school experience and selecting a mentor is just as important as the topic of the research.
What are your long-term career goals?
My ultimate career goal as an academic physician-scientist is to provide clinical care for critically ill patients and explore immune cell metabolism dysregulation in human diseases.
When you are not in the lab, you are…….?
Sailing on Lake Mendota or going for a run!
What is the most fun part of your research?
It is exciting to be able to get hands-on training with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry – from sample preparation to running the instrument to data analysis.
