Maddison is an undergraduate at Iowa studying Neuroscience with a minor in Psychology. She plans to attend medical school after undergrad with a focus on either cardio-thoracic or neurosurgery. On her journey, she hopes to bring awareness to implicit bias and racial disparities in healthcare for both physicians and patients.

Whitney is passionate about understanding the neurobiological and physiological mechanisms of depression and anxiety, to provide new diagnostic tools and therapeutics. She views her time in the Hultman Lab as "the perfect opportunity to learn about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of depression vulnerability and susceptibility using single-cell RNA sequencing." It is her hope to continue to study mental health disorders through a multidisciplinary approach as she begins her journey in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience at UIC in Chicago.

Nicole is an honors student going to the University of Iowa for a Biomedical Sciences B.S., certificate in Global Health Studies, and Spanish minor. Her goals are to attend medical school in order to help patients and improve medicine. She’s interested in the effects stress can have on organisms and furthering mental health research

Priyanka is an honors student on the Pre-medicine track and is majoring in Human Physiology with a Chemistry minor. She hopes to become a pediatrician in the future, but does not know exactly what she wants to specialize in. She is excited to explore different mechanisms to find ways to help individuals with neurological diseases and disorders.

Radha is an honors student and Biomedical Sciences major with a Music minor. Her future goal is to become a pediatrician. She is particularly interested in learning more about neurological mechanisms.

Sydney is interested in the molecular basis of a variety of diseases, and hopes to pursue a career in translational medicine.

Julia is currently a Biomedical Science major and Chemistry minor within the Honors program, and her primary interests involve studying complex diseases in the areas of neurobiology and neurogenetics. Her ultimate goal is to make a difference for people who suffer from neurological disorders, and in the near term she is planning on applying to PhD programs.
