Honor's Student

Undergraduate Researcher

Hi! I’m Isaac and I am an undergraduate senior working with the Nicholas lab. Whenever I am not in the lab or studying, I enjoy running, weightlifting, and listening to podcasts. I recently ran the Los Angeles Marathon, achieved a personal record of 2:49, and intend on running the 2026 Boston Marathon. My research interests include all medical-related diseases in general; however, I am especially interested in diseases related to immunology such as Type II diabetes. My goal is to learn about research in a medical-related area so that I may use these skills to achieve my dreams of becoming a physician. In a perfect world, I would love to become either an orthopedic surgeon or an immunologist.
