After graduating, Jared worked as an Associate Researcher at Mt. Sinai studying the neural correlates of learning & memory in non-human primates (Croxson, Rudebeck, and Baxter Labs). He also served as co-chair for Children of Bellevue’s Jr. Board, fundraising to support pediatric programs at Bellevue Hospital and advocating on behalf of hospitalized children. While at Gateways, as was a Grad Student Council representative, Jared helped organize a mental health wellness workshop for classmates & after graduating from Brown, he joined the Abdus-Saboor Lab at Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute studying the role of Mrgprb4 in pleasurable touch. After considering numerous offers, Jared will be pursuing his MD-PhD at the University of Wisconsin’s MSTP this summer, where he will study the molecular mechanisms underlying early life adversity and comorbidities with psychiatric, neurodegenerative, and metabolic diseases in rodents and non-human primates 🧠👨🏾‍🔬👨🏾‍⚕️! We are so proud of you Jared & commend you for your contributions to medicine thus far. We can’t wait to see what you accomplish at U Wisconsin! CONGRATS!! 💉 🐻
