She informed the College of Chicago that she hopes this analysis can in the future inform necessary healthcare efforts comparable to optimizing drug supply. This internship builds on Marta’s rigorous coursework and her earlier experiences as a analysis assistant. A rising scientist with a ardour for studying, Marta plans to pursue a Ph.D and a analysis profession.
