Hi, all! My name is Claire, and I’m entering my fourth year of Pharmacology in the Faculty of Science. I’m currently working as a co-op student at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute, where I am looking into the role of mitochondria in shaping the development of the innate immune system in neonates. I also previously volunteered with the Hotel Study, a 20-year-longitudinal study investigating multi-morbidity in the Downtown Eastside.
Outside of research, I also volunteer as a member of the UBC First Aid Student Team! In my spare time, I enjoy creative writing and teaching myself to play new musical instruments.
