About Catherine

Hi! I’m currently a biology major and piano minor doing pre-med while trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. In the lab, I’m the leader of Team Ulcer studying novel treatments for stomach ulcers caused by H. pylori infections. In the past, I’ve studied harmful bacteria in the gut microbiome and been part of the best lab prep team on campus. My favorite bacteria is H. pylori because it has five tails that help it swim around on a Petri dish and create cool patterns.
