Kartik Moolraj Dattani is studying the mechanisms leading to heart disease in the lab of Jared Churko, PhD, during his global research internship as part of a dual-degree program.

“As soon as I enrolled in this program, I always knew that I had to come here. I’ve known that traveling to a new place, let it be for research, but it also grows you as a person. I have a feeling that me coming here was a great thing for my research career, but also for me as a person, because we grow with new life experiences.”
