A TALE OF PANDAS, STEM CELLS, PROBLEM-SOLVING AND MEDICINE: IRENE CHENG’S BOREN FELLOWSHIP

I chose to study bioengineering because I really appreciated the hands-on aspect of this field. From conducting lab work, tinkering with electrical components, and working on my problem-solving capabilities, bioengineering challenges me everyday, which I love! I worked under Dr. Nagatomi and as an undergrad, I studied the effect of a 3D environment and ECM […]
