Nghiem Lab Undergraduate Research Assistant (2021 – Present)

“My Husky experience is like a puzzle, with each piece contributing diverse experiences that fit together to form my college journey. From interdisciplinary coursework to hands-on translational cancer research and crisis counselling, both academic and extracurricular aspects have shaped my identity – as a curious learner and empathetic listener, I am passionate about mental health and supporting under-represented groups. Each piece of my college puzzle has harmoniously equipped me with invaluable skills that will help me achieve my aspirations of becoming a physician.”
Nikhil Harikrishnan

“My journey at the University of Washington has helped me gain a profound understanding of how cultural, social, and economic factors impact health outcomes. As an aspiring physician, I am committed to seeking out opportunities to collaborate across disciplines and amplify the voices of historically marginalized communities. I am grateful for the endless support of my peers and mentors.”
