Basic Science Award, 2024

What stood out about your research experience at UT Southwestern, and how did it shape your career?

UT Southwestern has one of the biggest concentrations of successful scientists in one place, so it's always easy to find experts when you need help, and forming great collaboration partnerships is commonplace.

How did participating in the Seldin Symposium impact your research path?

The Seldin Symposium gives you good exposure to the vast amount of research happening at UT Southwestern and allows you to meet collaborators. I also got really helpful feedback from some of my poster judges.

What are your current research interests and goals?

My basic research aims to understand how maternal diet and maternal health conditions affect fetal kidney development. The ultimate goal will be to identify nutritional interventions that may optimize fetal kidney development and lifetime kidney health.

What advice would you offer current Internal Medicine trainees about pursuing research?

Consider a research component in your career. Being able to constantly flex the critical thinking part of the brain keeps the work stimulating, and makes clinical care seem more addressable.
