Akibo Watson

During the fall of 2015, I will be majoring in biochemistry and minoring in economics, and will be participating in the freshman research immersion program, where I will be able to conduct research and learn more about my field. I have also recently gained entry in to the Lewis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program (LSAMP) , and look forward to actively participating in the biochemistry club financial committee, as well as the Binghamton University rugby team. I come from a robust science background with experience in research from New York Medical College, where I researched the use of genetic switches on epilepsy. I enjoy learning about my field, and I make it my daily responsibility to become better at what I do every day. My wish is to continue to not only learn more about my passion, but to live it with other members of the field. Teamwork, communication, reliability, and character are some of my greatest strengths, and delivering on those characteristics inside and outside of the workplace is my greatest priority.
