Karime Wiesner ‘29 will be supporting research in the labs of Dr. Amy Keller and Dr. Nate Wlodarchak related to drug development as a research intern at the Anschutz Medical Campus of the University of Colorado in Aurora, Colorado. As a Chemistry major, Karime plans to apply to medical school to pursue a career related to preventive disease research.
Hometown: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Major: Chemistry
I'm a first-year college student majoring in chemistry with a strong interest in drug development and preventive disease research. I enjoy learning how science can be applied to improve health outcomes, and I'm always looking to expand my knowledge across both scientific and non-scientific fields.
I hope to gain hands-on experience in the field of chemistry and to see how scientific research translates into real-world applications. I want to continue to develop practical laboratory skills, learn from experienced mentors, and gain a better understanding of the day-to-day work of a researcher. Additionally, I hope this internship will help me explore my career interests, challenge me to think critically, and inspire new ideas in the field.
