How/Why Research? I got involved in this research because of my interest in the sciences as well as it was a work-study opportunity for me. I then reached out to my current mentor Dr.Button who hired me as a work-study student and after becoming comfortable in the lab I was able to work on some of the lab’s projects. I grew up with Asthma and this lab sought to find out ways to help with mucus clearance in asthmatic patients which really spoke to me.
