April 8, 2025
At all points of her Rutgers–Camden career, one thing has been consistent for sophomore Tiffany Chan: forward motion.
Chan, a sophomore in Rutgers–Camden’s Honors College majoring in computational and integrative biology, has demonstrated a profound passion for studying the functions of the nervous system and translational research, moving rapidly upward in those areas within just the first two years of her undergraduate career.
Chan’s young but fast-moving journey includes participation in the Rutgers-New Brunswick Waksman Student Scholars Program and Cooper Medical School’s PULSE program. Her current research deals with the function of the kidneys.
“I am honored to receive this award in recognition of my academic achievements and research contributions,” Chan said. “This opportunity not only affirms my commitment to the pursuit of knowledge but also motivates me to continue bridging scientific research with clinical practice.”
