Sarah Sahotra '25
Biology major; Public Health minor; pre-med track
I began my research journey through the Diversity Scholars Summer Research & Enrichment Program at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, where I joined Dr. John Karanicolas' lab at Fox Chase Cancer Center. My work focused on clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), which provided invaluable hands-on experience and reinforced my passion for medicine. Research has been a way for me to explore my interests, confirming my passion for medicine and solidifying my goal of pursuing an MD to become a physician.
In addition to research, I serve as a peer leader and vice president of the Tri-Alpha Honors Society, helping fellow students in their academic journeys. Outside of academics, I enjoy watching crime documentaries and exploring new cafes with friends.
