Anna Alford Email and Phone Number
I am an avid lover of science, with a B.S in Physics & Applied Mathematics and current PhD Candidacy in Biomedical Engineering at Purdue. I specialize in studying neurodegenerative disorders (with a focus on Multiple Sclerosis) and have over 7 years of research experience with microscopy and various histological and experimental techniques relating to in vitro and in vivo systems. I also have over 4 years of experience as a teaching assistant and love teaching, writing, the environment, astronomy, music, and art. I am interesting in applying my PhD to combine my passions for STEM and writing working as a Regulatory or Clinical Specialist, Medical or Scientific Writer, or related field to help companies or institutions ethically develop and communicate their research. I have a projected graduation date for the Summer of 2025 and will be available to begin work starting in August of 2025.
