Current Position: House Staff/Clinical Instructor, Ohio State University

What Scott Says About this Program:

I think the EIU chemistry department did a great job of helping me learn a good foundation in science and even more importantly I gained critical experience in evaluating often very difficult problems.  Both the junior and senior seminars that we were required to give allowed me to really understand critically evaluating basic and clinical science research.  These skills have certainly extended into my medical education and allowed me to excel in my training thus far.

Current Position: Doctoral Candidate, Neuroscience, University of Cincinnati

What Annie Says About this Program:

“I am currently a PhD. candidate in my fourth year in the Neuroscience program at the University of Cincinnati. My research focuses on the interactions between diet and stress, specifically trying to understand the brain networks behind how "comfort foods" can relieve stress. I am extremely grateful for the training that I received at EIU. Biochemistry courses are a part of the required core curriculum for my program, and thanks to my studies at EIU I was able to pass those courses with flying colors. I also got great lab experience in the EIU Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. Working in a biochemistry lab I learned important lab practices and techniques that I still use almost every day in my PhD research!”
