Biography
Hello! My name is Rosemary, and I’m an incoming 5th year student studying Biology at UBC. My research experience includes my two Co-op terms, where I worked as the research coordinator for the Global Surgery Lab and as a research tech for the UBC Molecular and Advanced Pathology Core. I previously volunteered at ICORD (International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries), where I worked on a project studying the effects of a ketogenic diet on spinal cord injury. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, biking and learning how to cook. I’m excited to support other students as they get started with their research journey and help them find research opportunities in topics they are interested in and passionate about.
