Why I chose ISB:

I chose ISB because of the unique and flexible structure of the curriculum and program. Therefore, it is the ideal fit for me as it puts me in the driver seat of my education. As science is moving away from a reductionist approach, the ISB program will prepare for the future as it emphasizes approaching science at a system level. The strong emphasis laid on training in basic, clinical and computational science fascinates me. And finally Pittsburgh has the charm of a city life without the high price tag!

Hobbies:

Cooking, hiking, cycling, traveling and binge watching movies/tv shows.
