Anthony Aggouras is a sophomore at the Rochester Institute of Technology and is studying biomedical engineering. This summer, he is working with Nicholas Leigh, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow working in the Whited Lab. This lab focuses on genome classification and the biology of limb regeneration in axolotls. Anthony is interesting in improving the medical field and forming connections between research and clinical work. He hopes to make a positive impact on his lab and gain experience in understanding the nuances of research. He is especially excited to study the biological factors of regeneration and witness the biological phenomena of limb regeneration among highly skilled and knowledgeable researchers. He hopes to continue research after graduation with the goal of creating improved medical treatments.

The Brigham Musculoskeletal (MSK) Internship Program, launched for the first time this summer, offers undergraduate students the opportunity to gain experience working in cutting-edge musculoskeletal research laboratories under the guidance of experienced mentors.
Five undergraduate students were chosen to participate in this 8-week program, which began in late June, each of whom was assigned a Brigham researcher as their mentor.
Each day this week, we will be introducing our MSK interns, their scientific interests, what they have been researching with their mentors, and what they hope to have gained from this experience at the completion of their internship.
