JANET WEI

I am currently a sophomore at the Rutgers Honors College majoring in Molecular Biology & Biochemistry and Marine Biology. I am interested in the diverse anatomical features of marine animals and the genetic basis behind water-to-land transition. After graduating, I hope to attend graduate school and continue my studies in biochemistry. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, drawing, and practicing the ukulele.
