Education

Candidate for BAS Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania

Areas of Special Interest

Sydney works with Isaac on cartilage tissue engineering, designing HA scaffolds for mesenchymal stem cell research. She also loves basketball and tennis, watching more movies than humanly possible, and trying to stay healthy long enough to graduate in one piece.
