Looking Back: "My graduate journey at Scripps was defined by transformative mentorships: Ali inspired my pivot to data analysis, Raquel Dias honed my coding skills, Evan Muse blended cardiology with real-world fitness, and Nathan Wineinger enriched my grasp of regression analysis. With the invaluable support and guidance from Scripps Research Translational Institute and the Torkamani Lab, I'm energized and ready to navigate the next wave of innovations and challenges in my data science career!"
Next Steps: Chen now looks forward to a career working in the data science industry.
Join us at 10 a.m. PDT on Friday, May 17, 2024 for our Commencement Ceremony Livestream! Chen wil be introduced by his faculty advisor, Pror. Ali Torkamani, who will deliver a few words about his graduate experience. Viewers will also learn about our many other 2024 graduates, who are now setting out to build careers that will profoundly impact the future of biomedical research.
