Leanne is most excited about meeting new people and doing research!
"I want to help prevent the spread of infectious disease across the globe. By developing vaccines for highly transmissible and studying tools to combat antibiotic resistance, I will do my part to save as many lives as I can."
"I wanted to be part of a community that was interested in similar things, where there were people who looked like me and staff who cared about me. Additionally, when I applied to Stony Brook, I was already interested in getting a Ph.D. This program provides so much guidance in getting there."
