Kristina Lamens, MS

Why did you choose the University of Pittsburgh?

I chose Pitt because of the reputation and collaborative nature of its graduate program, Pitt's strong record of NIH funding, and the breadth of faculty that I could see myself working with. The city of Pittsburgh is pretty great too!

Following completion of her Master's Thesis, Kristina began working as an Advanced Research Associate/Team Lead at Bio-Techne in Minnesota.
