MD Candidate
Duke University School of Medicine

I am a current third-year medical student at Duke University and will be pursuing an orthopaedic residency. During my research year, I am working in Dr. William Eward's Laboratory investigating the effects of X-ray psoralen-activated cancer therapy on soft tissue sarcoma. Additionally, as a member of Dr. Samuel Adams's Laboratory, I am utilizing human-derived matrices to optimize bio-inks for use in 3D printing-based tissue engineering.
