Kevin Aliado is a rising senior majoring in bioengineering. His research in Dr. Helen Blau’s lab focuses on analyzing the effects of candidate growth factors and various hydrogel niche environments on the dedifferentiation of myoblasts into muscle stem cells. He wants to go to medical school somewhere in California after his undergraduate career, and he also plans on getting a PhD in bioengineering eventually. In his free time, Kevin enjoys playing guitar, tennis, and video games.
