    Level:High School Student Expecting to Graduate in June 2015
    About Me: Public

    I am a highschooler in the DC area working on an independently designed and conducted project exploring hydrogel assisted stem cell chondrogenic differentiation. In addition to my own project, I have interned at NCATS working on analytical chemistry and NIDCR working on oral cancer in mouse models. 

    I hope to continue my research into college, and one day apply it to a clinical setting.
