We welcome dedicated trainees at all levels, from undergraduates to graduate students and beyond, to participate in laboratory research and development opportunities through our laboratory and its affiliated programs.
Student Spotlight
Tyler Atsumi
My time in the NF Scholars Program has helped me establish a strong foundation for tackling evidence-based research. Having volunteered as a mentor for autistic children for 5 years, it has been a transformative experience that has equipped me with the tools, skills, and mindset needed to make meaningful contributions in an area of research that I am passionate about. I have been able to operate state-of-the-art equipment and learn cutting-edge techniques and am ready to tackle a range of scientific challenges.
The lab is an amazingly collaborative environment where I am able to work closely with peers, mentors and experts in their field. Through symposium presentations and posters, I’ve honed my ability to convey complex concepts to broad audiences. The lab has not only fueled my intellectual growth but also provided continual learning opportunities while allowing me to share and expand my knowledge.
