<br/>Hello all! I'm Rachel. I've just finished my UVa degree in Biomedical Engineer this past May. I'm still right here in Charlottesville because, my lab partner and I began to realize entrepreneurial viability of our [http://news.virginia.edu/content/class-2013-uva-student-trio-dedicate-next-year-advancing-potential-breakthrough-medical-test capstone project]. (We are making a rapid diagnostic device for bacterial disease, base off the simplicity of a pregnancy test.) Through business competitions and grant funding, we acquired over $120,000 in that year, which is allowing us to continue the research we need to secure a patent and form a business. Exciting!!!
