George is a rising junior majoring in biology with a concentration in neuroscience. This summer in Calvin Kuo's lab, he is studying the effect of miR-126 deletion on tumor angiogenesis by using a Lewis lung carcinoma syngeneic mouse tumor model. In this approach, wild-type control and miR-126 knockout mice on a C57/BL6 background will be inoculated subcutaneously with LLC cells. Some of his other interests include writing for The Stanford Daily and swimming. He plans to pursue medical school after graduation.
