Katie Stoehr (2021) Major: Biomedical Engineering, Hometown: Beaverton,Oregon
“I worked in a lab the summer after my junior year and that got me really passionate about Medicine. I was studying Parkinson’s disease in a mouse model and I chose that because my grandfather has Parkinson’s disease. I’m really passionate about both research and working with patients so I’m hoping to become a M.D-Ph.D. to do both of those things. I find neuroscience very interesting so I’ll probably specialize in that. I’m very excited to learn about the brain while helping people.”
