Gia is a rising senior majoring in human biology with a concentration in infectious dis-ease and literary medicine. As a member of the Wu Lab, she is currently studying the fates of induced pluripotent stem cells and exploring novel forms of cardiovascular disease modeling and cell therapy. In addition to regenerative medicine, her academic interests include the medical humanities and the subjective experience of disease through narrative forms.
