Pitt Medical Alumni Association

We are climbing the leaderboards! Help us get the School of Medicine to the top! 💙💛

This week's 40 under 40 highlight is Collin Diedrich!

Collin is a staff scientist at Pitt researching how HIV changes immunological responses to tuberculosis

"I started a nonprofit, Learning Disabilities Association of Pennsylvania, where we help kids and adults that have learning differences find success. We run a reading tutoring program for low-income students, an after-school program teaching life skills through improv comedy, increase neurodiversity in STEM by creating multi-sensory videos of high school lab experiments, and help companies/schools/universities increase accessibility to those that think differently. "

His advice to students is, “When you need help, ask. When someone is in need, help. I think it’s that simple.”
