Hi! I am a Dunster alumna from 2002. I concentrated in Biochemical Sciences. Afterwards, I went to HMS, graduated in June 2007, and I just started Internal Medicine residency at Massachustts General Hospital. Also, I grew up in Calcutta, India, but I've now lived in Boston for almost 10 years! When I'm not working (or sleeping), I like to eat great food and watch movies of a wide variety. My academic interests are in oncology and palliative care.

Hello everyone! I'm currently a joint-degree student at Harvard Business School and the Kennedy School of Government. I graduated from Dunster in 2003 with a concentration in biological anthropology. For the past five years I worked at the NGO Partners In Health on a variety of research, programmatic, training, and advocacy projects relating to the provision of health care in resource-poor settings. Please say hello in the dining hall or drop me a line if you ever want to chat about global health, public service, jobs, fellowships, graduate school, or anything else that's on your mind.

I am a 3rd yr, currently doing clinical rotations, in the MD New Pathway program class of 2009. I have an engineering background, and am doing research aimed at making MRI imaging faster. Ultimately, I have an interest in the development of new therapies using imaging and radiation for improved cancer treatment. I also enjoy playing golf, tennis, and my saxophone. Please feel free to contact me for premed stuff or anything else you may want to discuss.

I graduated from Harvard (Dunster) in 2006 and concentrated in Biological Anthropology. I am currently a 2nd year medical student at HMS. While at Harvard I sang acapella, prefected, and was involved in Project Health (Project Baby). My medical interests lie primarily in the area of women's health and I have done a lot of research on breast milk--for some reason my classmates find this hilarious. At HMS I'm in charge of the OB/GYN Interest group; I do clinical research at MGH; and I'm directing the Second Year Show. If you want to talk about Bio Anthro (or HEB), clinical research, med school, women's health, performing arts, or really anything else, just shoot me an email or find me in the dining hall.

Hi! I'm currently a third year New Pathway student at HMS. I graduated from fair Dunster in 2005 as a Social Studies concentrator and started med school the following fall. While I was in college I was involved in a lot of public service activities and was part of the certificate in health policy program. I'm interested in social medicine and community/international health and in my spare time I like to cook, travel, explore Boston, and visit museums. If you have any questions about any of these things, or about being a non-science concentrator and pre-med shoot them my way!

Originally from the desolate Northern hinterland of Canadia, I am currently a second-year student at HMS. I completed my undergraduate in 2006 from the University of Toronto where I majored in Neuroscience and Psychology, and completed a minor in Ancient Greek and Roman studies. I've been involved in several different basic and clinical research projects related to Neuroscience, and spent last summer researching mental health among the Maori in New Zealand. I am also interested in health care policy and the role of health development within the context of broader international development. Aside from medicine, I try to keep up with my interests in contemporary architecture, being a soccer zealot, honing my piano skills, thinking about metacognition, feverishly running along the Charles, listening to live music, and making and consuming great food. I look forward to speaking to you about any questions you might have regarding science research, medical school, applying to post-graduate schools, or anything completely unrelated!

Greetings Dunster. I grew up in Rochester, NY and studied biochemistry at Harvard as an undergraduate. I attended Harvard Medical School, during which time I also served as a resident tutor in Dunster. I am currently an internal medicine resident at Massachusetts General Hospital. My research interests include cancer biology and genomics; I spent a year working at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute to develop new approaches to identifying anti-cancer drugs. I hope to get to know many of you and am always happy to talk about pre-med advising or anything else.

Dear Dunsterites, Science. Research. Lab. Medicine. I imagine many of you have at least considered one of these things for your future career. I am a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard Medical School, conducting research intimately related to cancer and medicine. I went through Harvard college many years ago as a resident of Lowell House. And as a resident Tutor at Dunster House I enjoyed spending three more years being part of undergraduate life in Cambridge. So if you have any questions regarding career choices, scientific ideas, lab selection, or anything else about going through college, you're more than welcome to contact me.

Tutor - Biology and Music

Hi, Dunster! I am your Biology/Music Tutor. I received my Ph.D. in the department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School. I graduated from Harvard College in 1999, so I have been at Harvard for more than ten years! Now I am working on my post-doctoral research as a Damon Runyon Cancer Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School. If you have any questions about your biology/biochemistry classes or finding a research lab, just let me know. I am also your music Tutor. Interested in performing in front of your fellow Dunsterites? Questions on use of music practice rooms? Heard of the annual Messiah Sing? Want to tell your friends/Tutors at Dunster about your upcoming performance? Talk to me, and feel free to share your ideas on spreading music around the House!
