Hi!

I’m Colin Brame, and I am a senior at Ohio State majoring in biomedical science and minoring in sociology. I am also an undergraduate research assistant in the Experimental Hematology Lab at OSU working with Dr. Koenig and Dr. Lapalombella, where we study the biology of and novel therapeutics for acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive form of blood cancer with poor outcomes.

First day of classes and repping Pelotonia. One goal!

During the summer, I was able to continue my project and to serve as the program director for the Mechanisms of Human Health and Disease summer program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where I taught high school students about topics in medical research.

I am currently applying to MD-PhD training programs to pursue a career as a physician-scientist. I am especially interested in understanding the pathogenesis of cancer and discovering novel strategies to treat cancer. In my free time, I am an avid runner, fitness enthusiast, and photographer, and I love to cook and bake.
