Patrick Erickson '15 spent the summer between his junior and senior years with Dr. Xiu-Boa Chang doing research into drug interaction with multiple myeloma, a form of cancer that targets white blood cells in bone marrow.

"At a larger school you don't have that type of relationship with them. They've seen who I am on more than just a student level. And the classes have helped prepare me for the things professionals want you to do in a lab setting, like recording and the machinery we have to work with."
