I am Akram Aldaerwish. I have a bachelor’s degree in biology with a concentration in Pre-Medical Sciences and a minor in Microbiology from Oklahoma State University. I am planning to apply for a Master’s degree in Microbiology or PA program in 2025. I joined the Stubbendieck lab in the summer of 2024, and I am excited to learn more about Microbiology and gain more knowledge before moving to the next step of my education.
