Dylan Wolman ’10 talks about the merits of taking a year out of medical school to do intense lab research at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Farm Research Campus as part of the HHMI Medical Research Fellows Program in a story on the HHMI News website. Wolman explains
“A year of research provides an avenue to practice what should be an essential skill in any scientific field: questioning ‘why.’ “
While at Brandeis, Wolman, a Bio/Neuro double major, did undergraduate research in the Paradis lab. His thesis on “Involvement of USP12 and USP46 ubiquitin proteases in synaptic glutamate receptor accumulation” earned him high honors in Neuroscience. Wolman is currently a medical student at Tufts University School of Medicine.
