About Me
Hi, I鈥檓 Harrison! I grew up moving between states: Michigan, Ohio, and then Arkansas. In 2019, I returned to Ann Arbor to pursue a Bachelor福利偷拍91 深夜福利 degree in molecular biology at the University of Michigan. After graduating in 2023, I spent a year working as a mass-spectrometry tech in a lab studying pancreatic cancer, and a year as a medical scribe in an ophthalmology clinic.
Science has always fascinated me, ever since I was a child. From a very young age, I gravitated towards the idea of 鈥渃uring cancer鈥. Through working in laboratories and learning about basic biology for my Bachelor福利偷拍91 深夜福利 degree, the idea of participating in cancer research was an effective motivator. Discovering the physician-scientist pathway helped me realize how I could merge clinical practice with cancer research, and I鈥檝e been committed to that path ever since.
Hobbies/Interests
Video Editing, Video Games, Gym, Cooking things that look like sludge, McDonalds, Taking pictures of my cat and sending them to everyone I know.
Research Topic
Pancreatic Cancer, Bioinformatics, Tumor Immunology
Why I chose MD/PhD
Throughout my journey as a student, researcher, and clinical worker, I鈥檝e dedicated myself to exploring biology and its connection to medicine. Working in research labs as a technician and engaging directly with patients in clinical settings solidified my commitment to pursuing a career as a physician-scientist. I鈥檓 also eager to take on a mentorship role, lead my own lab, and contribute to the growth of the next generation of researchers.
