University Scholars Program (UF College of Medicine)

USP selects 200 students at UF from any discipline to have their research journey supported through stipend and professional opportunities. As a part of this program, I am able to continue working in the Laboratory of Neuronal Circuits and Cognitive Behaviors in my senior year. My final project, which focuses on the the relationship between cocaine sensitization and sleep deprivation, is being prepared for UF's 2026 Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium and to be published in the Journal of Undergraduate Research.
