As the first NASURF recipient, SRJC student Alexandra<br />
Dubinin spent the past summer working with Duc in<br />
the Jonathan Butcher Lab studying heart disease. “This<br />
research opportunity has given me new appreciation for<br />
medicine and helps me understand diseases on a new<br />
level,” she said. “I never considered research before and<br />
I fell in love with it. It’s exciting to make connections that<br />
you weren’t expecting and see actual results.” This fall<br />
Alexandra will be attending UC Berkeley with plans to<br />
head to medical school. From Nick to Duc to Alexandra<br />
and countless others, the power of an SRJC education,<br />
SRJC experiences, and SRJC relationships is evident and<br />
will continue to make an impact.<br />
