Philip Zhang
New York,NY
Summary
High school junior interested in pursuing neurology and microbiology. Through studying for the USA Biology Olympiad and Science Olympiad, I've learned to love the molecular mechanisms behind our everyday lives. My research experience under the CCNY Stem Research Academy showed me how environmental science research is particularly useful, especially in antibiotic resistance. I'm always eager to learn from my peers and build on my knowledge.
