Nicole Dalal is a rising sophomore who intends to major in human biology. As a member of the Teruel lab this summer, she is researching various factors involved in the mechanisms of adipogenesis and insulin resistance, which is critical to a better understanding and treatment of obesity. Nicole is fascinated by the application of science and research in clinical settings to improve health outcomes. Apart from research, she enjoys playing and watching sports and spending time with family and friends. In the future, Nicole plans to attend medical school.
