“I teach students the way I wished I was taught in college — where I make it a point to engage the students in discussions, make the atmosphere comfortable for asking questions and giving input, and try to ensure that students have time to digest the material. My goal is to make sure biology is accessible to everyone.”

“This kind of support can significantly advance our current research that involves high risks and high rewards. It can help us better understand the underlying mechanism of heart disease and facilitate new interventional strategies.”
