My Interests
"I broadly plan to study microbial and/or infectious disease epidemiology. I am especially interested in surveillance techniques and disentangling associations between humans, microbes, and the environment."
RESEARCHER I ADMIRE
Paul Farmer
Why QBS?
"I chose QBS because of its interdisciplinary nature and unique goals which very much aligned with my own. With my degree, I intend to research how to prevent epidemics or antibiotic resistance through discovering changes in patterns."
FAVORITE QBS CLASS
All of the Epidemiology courses!

WHEN I AM NOT IN LAB...
