Finding Research Projects and Centers at the Bloomberg School of Public Health

Venturing into graduate school presents great opportunities. To add to your experience, it's important to consider what options are available through practice and research opportunities. The Bloomberg School of Public Health offers 80 research centers. Allison Dehaas McGinnis, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology shares her experience in finding research projects and centers to work with at the our School of Public Health. When not in lab, she enjoys being a Bloomberg Ambassador where she gets to speak with prospective students and write blogs sharing her experience at Hopkins. Her mentors prior to and throughout her doctoral program have had such a positive impact on her career choices that she hopes to continue this effect with my future students.  Allison works within Dr. Michael Matunis' lab and focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of how the post-translational modification, sumo, effects mitochondrial dynamics via its interaction with a key mitochondrial protein called drp1. She started her doctoral program right after her undergraduate program, where she studied botanical research and scent chemistry.   Show Notes:  JHM Professional Development and Career Office (PDCO) JHU Teaching Academy
