[[File:JeffHansen.jpg|thumb|JeffHansen.jpg]]Jeff is a senior Biology major at the University of Notre Dame and is originally from Vienna, Virginia, a suburb of Washington D.C. Stemming from several members of his family afflicted with type 1 diabetes, Jeff is passionate about finding a cure for diabetes; this passion over the years has expanded into a passion for science generally. To balance his science work, Jeff also spends a significant amount of his time with the Notre Dame band program, including most notably the Marching Band.
Jeff is currently applying to MD/PhD programs and hopes to use this degree to combine research, medicine and education to improve life from several different angles. By working as a medical school faculty, he can research towards the cure of diabetes, thus preventing further suffering, he can treat current patients, thus alleviating the present suffering, and he can educate, thus allowing others to join him in the cause. Through University Innovation Fellows, Jeff is excited to continue to improve the educational environment and be an active participant in today’s society.
