Beginning a research career early in his high school years studying the evolution of epithelial sodium channel subunits in the brain, Jonathan's interests shifted to stem cell research after a scarring surfing accident during his research stint in the Canary Islands, Spain.</span>

Through UIF, he hopes to gain the skills required to create infrastructure and curricular changes to foster this type of cross-disciplinary thinking that will shape science and medicine in the future.</span></span> [[Category:Student Contributors|j]][[Category:Student Contributors]]
