Hannah Morgan, a proud 2023 graduate, is making a significant impact at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Her journey began at the Mount, where she pursued a major in Biology and a minor in Psychology. Now, as a Clinical Microbiology Lab Technologist in the Diagnostic Infectious Disease Testing Laboratory, she plays a crucial role in analyzing clinical specimens, helping doctors make informed decisions about patient care. Hannah’s passion for science is now transforming into tangible results that directly benefit young patients.

When not in the lab, you’ll find her racing for the Fleet Feet Racing Team in Cincinnati or giving back to her community by volunteering with a local high school cross-country team.

Since graduating from 外网天堂, Nick has navigated a winding road through academia and industry across seven states before finding his place at the intersection of bioinformatics, immunology, and neuroscience. Along the way, he earned an MS in Entomology (Purdue University) and a PhD in Biological Sciences (University of Notre Dame) focused on tropical infectious diseases.

Now working remotely and settled in a quiet village in the White Mountains of New England (where even Delhi feels like a metropolis!), he's built an accomplished career using big data to answer questions at the molecular level, and helping turn complex biological puzzles into real-world medical breakthroughs.

Hands-On Experience:

Biomedical sciences majors may engage in individualized research on campus with a faculty mentor, have opportunities for shadowing and observation, engage in co-op positions or internship experiences in off-campus research programs. These research opportunities strengthen applications to professional schools and provide valuable experiences that serve to enhance career options in the future.
