Nghiem Lab Research Assistant Named in UW’s Husky 100

Congratulations to Nghiem Lab Undergraduate Research Assistant, Emily Huynh, for her inclusion in UW’s 2022 Husky 100. Emily has made notable contributions to several research projects since joining the lab in 2020. She is a UW Honors and Biology student with plans to pursue medical school following her graduation.

In UW Honors and Biology, I studied not only body systems but also interdisciplinary links between healthcare and social justice. I applied my passion for health equity and amplifying historically unheard voices as a child of Vietnamese immigrants through clinical research and partnerships with youth experiencing houselessness in Seattle. My time as a Husky centered on growing as a leader amidst challenges and serving people from all backgrounds, as I strive to continue as a future physician. —Emily Huynh
