Applications due April 16, 2014
Edgar joined the BSCR program to increase his knowledge of cell biology and experience full-time research as a possible career op-tion. He trained in Dr. Miyamoto’s lab here at CSU-Fullerton and is now a paid intern at Stanford University with Dr. Thomas Rando. Edgar’s internship project focuses on the use of microRNAs to influ-ence stem cell behavior in the musculoskeletal system. Edgar ap-preciates the opportunity to explore research as a career as a BSCR Scholar and now feels he is well positioned for the many opportuni-ties available in the area of stem cell medicine.

Gurpreet Singh Embracing His
Opportunity
Visit our website to embrace your opportunity: biology.fullerton.edu/stemcells/
Applications due April 16, 2014
Gurpreet learned about the BSCR Program after applying for graduation and felt that the chance to learn about stem cells and conduct full-time research at a PhD granting university was too intriguing to pass up. Af-ter training under Dr. Nikolaidis at CSU-Fullerton, Gurpreet is now a paid intern with Dr. Jill Helms in the Department of Surgery at Stanford Uni-versity. He is investigating the ability of WNT3a to elicit a repair-by-regeneration response following a serious tooth injury. Gurpreet is cur-rently in the process of applying to dental school and believes his expe-rience in the BSCR program will help him to stand out as a candidate.

Network
Visit our website to expand your network: biology.fullerton.edu/stemcells/
Applications due April 16, 2014
Sophia wanted to learn how research in the lab translates into bio-medical therapies and work with mouse and human stem cells. She trained with Dr. Nikolaidis here at CSU-Fullerton and is now in-terning at Stanford University in the laboratory of Dr. Michele Calos in the Department of Genetics. Her project involves genetic manip-ulation of stem cells as a potential therapy for various muscular dystrophies. Sophia plans to apply to MD/PhD programs and thinks her hard work and her solid network will lead to strong letters of recommendation.
