Anya Young

I am a rising junior studying biochemistry at the University of Michigan. I have been a member of MSBT for the past year, and also work as an undergraduate researcher in a medicinal chemistry lab, which is interested in studying potential drug targets and discovering new antibiotics for two increasingly antibiotic-resistant pathogens. In the future, I plan on earning my PhD to continue pursuing my passion for research, using what I learn to help understand and address problems related to infectious disease and medicine. When I'm not in the lab, I enjoy traveling, recreating outdoors and spending time with friends.
