Ehab Abo-Ali: The Doctor that Teaches

Though he has honed his research methods in the NYU Genetics and Systems Biology laboratory, CSTEP star Ehab Abo-Ali also has a passion for teaching. He achievements include presentations at both state-wide CSTEP research conferences and the New England Science Symposium at Harvard Medical School, but Ehab also gives back to the field by serving as a General Chemistry Teaching Assistant in the NYU Chemistry Department. He knows that his eventual PhD in Biological Science will oblige him to teach—“I can’t
                           wait," says Ehab.

Felipe Rendon: Community Organizer

“I’m a lifer,” says CSTEPer Filipe Rendon of his success in both the STEP and CSTEP programs, “and, like they say, to whom much is given, much is expected.” We can only assume Felipe is referring to his long history of community advocacy within the Latino community at NYU—he has been a leading voice of L.U.C.H.A. (Latinos Unidoos Con Honor y Amistad). The care and enthusiasm Felipe has shown for his community will surely serve him well in his future endeavors, first as a medical student and, ultimately,
                           as an emergency room physician in New York City.
