Pre Med Club

On 4/11/2025, the Diamond Bar High School Pre Med Club held a presentation session to showcase the research review we had been working on for the past few weeks. After spending multiple meetings carefully analyzing and breaking down complex scientific articles, we finally brought everything together in a formal presentation to share our findings and

Many students still felt overwhelmed when faced with a full research article. So during our meeting on 4/1/2025, I decided to teach a session focused entirely on how to use ChatGPT as a tool to break down complex scientific articles into something understandable. Since many of our members are still in high school and don’t

Although many of the meetings for the Diamond Bar High School Pre Med Club have been focused on reviewing scientific papers and learning to write scientific literature reviews, many club members have expressed a desire for more hands-on learning. So on March 30, 2025, as the club president, I organized a special suture workshop to

Abstract: The experiment conducted in this research article explored the possibilities of using muscle stem cells to repair damaged and dysfunctional muscles. This type of therapy could be a form of treatment for people with muscular dystrophy. The disease that was focused on here was Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). To understand the aim of this

General Idea This study investigates how social isolation affects brain function in mice, focusing on cognitive (thinking and memory) impairments. It also looks at how a substance called dihydromyricetin (DHM), found in some plants, could help reverse these effects. Mice that were socially isolated for some time developed poorer memory and cognitive performance. Changes occurred

The HSIP program that I attended was also very valuable. The program gave me an unusual and broad exposure to the enormity and the diversity within medicine that I had not appreciated beforehand. It presented me each week with doctors from different specialties, their unique perspectives, and expertise, which really showed me what different careers

Back in November 2023, when I was researching various summer programs, I came across the Summer at Hopkins program and I was immediately drawn to it.  Johns Hopkins had always been one of my dream schools, and the Summer at Hopkins program presented an exciting chance to immerse myself in the academic environment of one
