Supporting Future Difference Makers in the health sciences
Thanks to the leadership and vision of Jessup Professor Dr. Eddie Romo and his colleagues at UC Davis, Jessup is ready to lead in preventative care through Precision Health Research. Right now, much of the medical field focuses on treating diseases after they've developed. But Jessup is shifting that focus - investing in safe, early-life interventions to prevent disease before it starts.
Meet Michael | Michael is a sophomore biology major who one day hopes to make a difference in the medical field as a cardiac anesthesiologist.
"This year, I've had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Eddie Romo as a lab and teacher's assistant. It's been such a rewarding exerpience to learn from him and be part of something bigger than myself.
Science has been my passion since I was four years old, so getting the chance to help Dr. Romo research a potential blood-borne biomarker for early Alzheimer’s detection has been nothing short of amazing. This isn’t something I ever thought I’d get to do as an undergrad student, but Jessup has made it possible.
Beyond gaining hands-on experience and developing valuable skills in research, what’s been most meaningful to me is how my faith has grown through this journey. It’s such a blessing to be in a place where the integration of science and faith is at the forefront of everything we do."
By making a gift to the Precision Health initiative during Give:24, you can help equip future difference makers in the medical field. Your support will provide Jessup with the foundational equipment needed to empower Precision Health research that could transform lives.
