Hi everyone! My name is Jasmin, and I am from New Jersey. I am a fourth-year Neuroscience major graduating this December, and I am on the pre-med track with a minor in chemistry and a certificate in the Conceptual Foundations of Medicine. I am passionate about research and teaching, specifically helping my peers succeed in both academics and their research goals. My first research was under Dr. Zuzana Swigonova where I worked to develop interactive 3D models of protein structures that could be used to improve hands-on learning in classrooms. I was fortunate enough to receive the Chancellor’s Undergraduate Research Fellowship (CURF) for this and present my work at the National Conference of Undergraduate Research (NCUR). I am currently a student researcher with the Kline Lab, which has allowed me to investigate rehabilitative therapies following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Last summer, I received the CNUP Fellowship, where I worked full-time with the team to lead a project focusing on using Music Therapy as a non-invasive method of treatment for TBI, and I presented this work in San Diego at the SfN Neuroscience 2025 conference. I am also an intern for the Spine Computational Outcomes Learning Institute, where we study how patient outcomes following spine surgery. I am excited to work with you all and help you get started on your exciting research journey. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to chat!
