JHU
Pre-college

I achieved a pre-college credit in Introduction to Surgery at Homewood, Johns Hopkins University in the summer of 2023, a program that I have been so longing to be in.

I also achieved an overall GPA of 4.0/4.0, A+, ranking the first among all the students in the course that year.

Forensics Immersive -
@University of Toronto

This program where I not only learned more than I expected but also established firm connection with instructors from University of Toronto, St. George, fulfilled my wish to apply my biology knowledge and hands-on skills to the forensics field.

Molecular Biology and Genetics

During the immersive program, I mastered fundamental biology lab skills by pipetting like a champ and recognizing blood patterns. Through collaborative teamwork, I along with my crew solved the "Crime Scene" through DNA fingerprinting by PCR exam. By doing extensive research on myself, I contributed to the crime scene re-construction by applying genetic transformation - which includes setting up O/N cultures, extracting the protein, running the gel, and analyzing the gel.
