Dyvon Walker is a rising sophomore from Colorado Springs, Colorado majoring in human biology. He is currently conducting research in the Kuo Lab on the manipulation of the protein called GPR124 in order to treat stroke. He is implementing surgical techniques to induce stroke in mice in order to gain further knowledge of the function of this protein. Dyvon is interested in human biology and physiology in general and plans to apply to medical school in pursuit of a career in surgery.
