How/Why Research? I was involved in childhood trauma research during my senior year of highschool, and I wanted to explore my curiosity for that field as an undergraduate. I cold-emailed research labs the summer after my freshman year, and was fortunate enough to start working in the Linnsteadt Lab at the start of my sophomore year.
Research Experience: My projects center around collection and analysis of inflammatory blood metabolites post-childhood-trauma in rats. The majority of my work involves wet lab and analytical research methods. I have also presented my research at the Maixner Pain Symposium at Duke and at the UNC Trauma and Pain Department of Research. Being involved in research has not only allowed me to learn more about my academic interests, but also developed my personal skills and broadened my network!
