Carin Rollins ’94 and John Marlow ’90 are two Colgate graduates who are rapidly becoming household names in biotech. Both were invited back to Colgate on February 11, 2019 to speak about their experiences as innovators and industry leaders.

This summer, I had the opportunity to intern in the Department of Cancer Biology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. I specifically worked on determining that a protein involved in inflammation can be degraded by a specific member of the degradation pathway.

I worked for the Home Base Program which is through Massachusetts General Hospital and the Red Sox Foundation. Home Base provides clinical care and support services such as resiliency education to veterans of post-9/11 conflicts.

This summer, I worked for a non-profit organization in Karatu, Tanzania called FAME (Foundation for African Medicine and Education). I was given the opportunity to shadow doctors in the hospital’s inpatient, outpatient, and maternity wards.

I have spent the past two summers and winter working as part of a research group that specializes in neuropsychology and biological neuroimaging at Yale University’s Translational Brain Imaging Program.

This summer I was able to work for the National Institutes of Health. I worked in the NIDDK, or the Institute for Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney diseases.
