“I majored in Biomedical Engineering at Boston University (ENG '15). I am currently, a fourth-year medical student at Boston University School of Medicine (MED '21). Research is a powerful tool. Research gives you answers that would improve peoples' lives or increase knowledge to a field. The rigorousness of the research process gives you confidence in the research conclusion. In everyday life, knowing how to find evidence can really help you win arguments and change people's views.”

I am currently a 4th year medical student at BUSM. I am applying into orthopedic surgery residency programs for next year. Prior to matriculating to medical school, I was a research assistant and lab manager at the Center for Regenerative Medicine at BU and BMC where I worked on several projects using patient-derived stem cells to study the developmental stages of various body tissues and develop in vitro disease models for genetic conditions. Carrying this work into my preclinical years of medical school, I was working on generating a model to test the efficacy of drug candidates in lung organoids cultured from stem cell lines from cystic fibrosis patients. I’m looking forward to participating in the Boston Medical Journal Club this year and mentoring aspiring medical students passionate about both basic science and clinical research. Born and raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota, it was my downhill ski racing career that brought me to the Northeast for my undergraduate education at Williams College. I love sports, especially the Minnesota Vikings and Twins. I live in Cambridge now with my partner and our two cats, Franklin and ELISA. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you all this year.”21). Research is a powerful tool. Research gives you answers that would improve peoples' lives or increase knowledge to a field.

“My name is Shaunt Fereshetian and I am currently a 4th year medical student here at BUSM. I am applying into Ophthalmology residency positions this fall. I am originally from Belmont, MA (a suburb near Cambridge) and went to Tufts for undergrad where I majored in biopsychology. After graduating in 2014, I spent three years working in the proteomics platform at the Broad institute in Cambridge MA. My focus was mainly on studying the role of posttranslational modifications like phosphorylation and ubiquitination in the pathophysiology of disease. Research has been a significant and important part of my academic life and I am excited to be a part of the Boston Medical Journal Club this year. By virtue of my hometown I am huge Boston sports fan and a cooking enthusiast. Each month I try to cook a new unique recipe! I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors and usually plan a trip once a year with my childhood friends. I am looking forward to working with you all this coming fall!”
