Beth Ashinsky, M.D. Ph.D.
Visiting Graduate Student
University of Pennsylvania
Hometown
Chappaqua, NY
Education
M.D. Candidate, Drexel University College of Medicine
B.A., Carleton College, 2013
Areas of Special Interest
Beth's research interests include intervertebral disc tissue engineering and translational therapeutic strategies. Outside of the lab, Beth can be found competing in triathlons. She is also moderately obsessed with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels!
