Hi! I’m Madeline Price, and I am a second year Eminence Fellow majoring in biochemistry here at the Ohio State University.
I’m from Shaker Heights, Ohio — a suburb of Cleveland filled with flowering trees and old red brick buildings. As I grew up exploring natural parks near my home, I developed a strong curiosity. I asked my parents thousands of questions, and I sifted through my library’s archives as I created documentaries and podcasts. I investigated everything from how voter turnout impacts elections to why women are paid less than men — because I believe that we can discover injustice and create innovative solutions by investigating these bold questions.
I continue to follow my curiosity at the Ohio State University as I pursue a major in biochemistry. I currently conduct research in Dr. Craig Burd’s molecular genetics lab, investigating how exposure to environmental hormone disruptors affects mammary gland development and can promote breast cancer risk.
I am interested in many post-gradational paths including pursing a Ph.D., attending medical school, or embarking on a career in business or law. In whichever path I choose, I will follow my curiosity and collaborate with colleagues across the globe to conduct research and create innovative solutions.
On campus, I am a member of multiple student organizations; I am a podcast writer for BREACH, a healthcare equity organization, I am the Treasurer of Momentum Contemporary Ballet and I am also a member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I dance often with Momentum Contemporary Ballet as we perform ballet works at various events around campus. Additionally, I organize fun events for the Eminence Fellows; I plan meals for the Freshman Fall Retreat, I am helping develop the Senior Symposium, and I create other fun experiences including our holiday party and a celebration of corn in the OSU corn fields. I also enjoy trying coffee shops and bakeries around Columbus, and in my spare time, I love to read novels, knit socks, bake challah, and go on long hikes with my family and my dog.
