In Summer 2019, I was sponsored for an observership at the Lahey Hospital Cardiology CCU and Cath Lab by Dr. Gautam Gadey, the brilliant surgeon for my grandfather's life saving operation. Summer 2019. Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans today. At Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, preventing heart problems from occurring - and diagnosing and treating them at the earliest stage possible - is the foremost priority. I was particularly interested in the use of computer technology in the realm of cardiology. Every patient is given the highest level of care by expert and deeply compassionate professional individuals who comprise the medical teams at the Lahey CCU. Amazing and inspiring.

I had the privilege of being selected to participate in the inaugural "Broadie for a Week" program in April 2019. Participants in this brand new program were given the opportunity to explore what it’s like to be a scientist at the Broad over the course of four days. Students learned both wet lab and computational scientific skills important in the field of biomedicine, while being exposed to the exciting research happening at the Broad. The program was a mix of interactive activities, lab tours, hands-on shadowing of professionals in a variety of labs, team-building activities, and the opportunity to meet scientists with varied backgrounds who are at different stages in their careers.

Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard was launched in 2004 to improve human health by using genomics to advance our understanding of the biology and treatment of human disease, and to help lay the groundwork for a new generation of therapies.
