Emma conducted research under the Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) for 8 weeks at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. During this program, she investigated the role of transcriptomes in the interaction between suicide and schizophrenia using bulk RNA-sequencing data. Outside of research, she enjoyed exploring the city, sightseeing, and trying Chicago’s food scene.
