“USC’s Human Biology program is a rigorous and encompassing curriculum that encouraged me to pursue a career in scientific research. I’m currently a PhD candidate in Biomedical and Translational Sciences at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and continue to apply the skills I learned as an HBIO undergraduate to this day. I’m grateful for the faculty and department advisors that provided me with opportunities to hone my skills in research, guided me to apply for student grants and fellowships and recognized my capabilities to teach as a Supplemental Instructor. I’m also grateful for the dynamic nature of the program that supplemented core concepts in human anatomy and physiology with a wide breadth of upper division courses that later helped me shape my interest in this broad field as well. The network of people I met through this program remains an important part of my professional journey and if I were to go back in time, I would gladly relive my experience in this program.”
