As a way of giving back to his alma mater, Gregory Stahl, PhD provides select undergraduates with top-notch research experience. As a principal investigator in the Center for Experimental Therapeutics and Reperfusion Injury, Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, he has hosted and funded Juniata College juniors and seniors to work in his lab each summer since 1994.
Through a competitive application process, the Huntington, PA-based liberal arts college selects its top student interested in graduate or medical school to work as a Harvard Summer Research Scholar in the lab. This year, the college sent equally qualified students senior Bryan Tokarchic and junior Mohammad Ali Khoshnevisan. Both were eager to work with Stahl, having heard about the rewarding experience from past undergraduates. This summer also brought Garrett Pacheco, a senior at the University of Arizona, Tucson, to Stahl's lab through Harvard Medical School's Summer Honors Undergraduate Research Program.
Stahl assigned the students to a research project on locating genes regulated by the innate immune system and allowed them to take ownership of studying individual organs.
