Hey everyone! I\u2019m Jithin V. George, a rising junior Neuroscience major at the U!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This summer, I\u2019m attending the 10 week, MSTP Summer Scholars Program at the University of Rochester\u2019s School of Medicine and Dentistry. (This is due, in large part, to Dr. Orr for his letter of recommendation, his mentorship, and his willingness to put up with my incessant questions; to Dr. Waldeck for his support; and to Dr. Catino for making sure I didn\u2019t give up hope!)<\/p>\n

Through the program, I\u2019m conducting research in the Cognitive Neurophysiology laboratory led by Dr. Ed Freedman and Dr. John Foxe. I\u2019m working with David Richardson to investigate cognitive-motor interference in elderly populations and developing a cognitive-motor task for early diagnosis of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

I also shadow Dr. Matt Bellizzi in the Multiple Sclerosis clinic of Strong Memorial Hospital\u2019s Neurology department. I also attend weekly professional development seminars, participate in various optional educational seminars, take preparatory MCAT classes, work with underprivileged high school students through the Upward Bound program, and attend MSTP social events.<\/p>\n

The program culminates with a poster presentation session, where each MSTP Scholar presents the results of their research. Wish me luck!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
