My name is Evan Catton and I am a fourth year student within the biological sciences scholars program. Prior to coming to Ohio State, I attended Saint Charles Preparatory school here in Columbus. I am currently a student in the college of engineering studying bio-medical engineering, while also following the pre-med track. I am interested in both the clinical and research side of medicine and I currently work in the BRT here at OSU under Dr. Don Benson and I volunteer and shadow at Grant Medical Center. My work here at the university focuses on immunotherapy as it pertains to a type of cancer known as multiple myeloma as well as biomedical engineering as it pertains to models of in vivo cancer study. I am also a student mentor for the Bio-Sci scholars group and the Coordinator of Development in a student organization here at OSU known as Camp Kesem. This organization specializes in aiding families, and more specifically the children, in which an parent or parents has been affected by cancer. If you wish to find out more about this wonderful organization, please reach out to me or visit campkesem.org! After I conclude my undergraduate studies here at OSU, I plan to go on to medical school and obtain an MD/PhD so that I may continue my passion for research as well as work hands-on in the clinical field face-to-face with patients.
Outside of OSU, I am sure you can find me out and about fundraising for things such as Pelotonia and the national MS society, cheering on the bucks on autumn Saturdays, or mentoring students from my high school Alma Mater. If you would like to reach out to me for any reason, please feel free! I am always willing to meet new faces and help in anyway I can.
