My name is Ruthia. I am a pre-medical student double majoring in neurobiology and psychology. In the future, I hope to attend medical school and obtain a degree in child and adolescent psychiatry. I joined the BEE lab because I am interested in how infants’ early experiences affect brain circuitry and later cognitive development. In my free time, I enjoy reading novels, exercising, attending Taekwondo classes and watching dramas.

Alumni Update: Ruthia graduated in 2014 with a B. A. in Psychology. She is currently a researcher at Dana Farber.
