Rosa Mendoza
rmendo27@uic.edu I am Rosa Elena Mendoza. I am a first-generation Mexican student. I am majoring in Biology, and I’m on the pre-PhD track. I was recently accepted into the Molecular, Cell & Developmental Biology, and Neurobiology (MCDBN) Ph.D. program. I hope to learn more about schizophrenia and other mental disorders. I want to focus my career on finding more specific causes of schizophrenia and better treatments for it. I love to work out and read. I am also in the Isotope Lab with Dr. Gonzalez-Meler and the Bat Lab with Dr. Salles. In addition, I am a mentor for L@s Ganas. I took this course last year and truly enjoyed every part of it. I can’t wait to see what this semester holds. Sarah Saleh

mmoght2@uic.edu Hi! My name is Mateen Moghtaderi and I am a senior at UIC. I am a biochemistry major on the pre-dental track. I’m from Skokie and I like to work out and hang out with my friends during my free time. I can speak English, Farsi, and a little bit of Spanish. I decided to follow the pre-dental track ever since I got my braces off in highschool. I used to have extra teeth, so after getting them removed as well as my braces, I have become interested ever since. I now work as a dental assistant in Glenview and I want to become an orthodontist. I’m always excited to meet new people, so feel free to reach out. Let’s have a great semester. Miguel Salgado
