Alumni Note – Andy Hahn
Andy Hahn graduated from College Scholars in spring of 2011 with a focus on medicinal chemistry. He is now a second year medical student at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Over the past summer, he was a recipient of the UTHSC NIH Medical Student Research Fellowship that allowed him to work at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with Dr. Michael A. Dyer, Ph.D. The focus of his research was on the development of novel therapies for rhabdomyosarcoma, the most common soft tissue tumor in kids. Andy stated that, “My experience at St. Jude was a natural progression from my bench research at UTK to translational research that can immediately impact patient’s lives.” Outside of studying, Andy has continued to run road races in Memphis.
