Social media spotlight: Christian Zwirner

Hometown: Windham, 海角社区

Christian Zwirner is a biochemistry major and Spanish minor. The former president of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity will graduate in December 2018. The Senior Skull vice president鈥檚 research in Rob Wheeler鈥檚 lab focused on the fungus Candida albicans, which annually causes several thousand deaths due to hospital-acquired infection. He won the Frederick H. Radke Memorial Award, presented to the outstanding senior in biochemistry. 鈥淕rowing up, I experienced a plethora of medical problems. Although they were hard to endure at times, these problems piqued my interest in why and how scientific processes worked within the human body. In June, I鈥檒l go with the Blue Crew on a medical mission to Ghana, then work as a medical scribe at Mid Coast Hospital, then I plan on attending medical school. U海角社区 is what you make of it. I鈥檝e been part of the best organizations, met the best people and had the best opportunities. My work in the lab has helped me grow as a person and as a leader.鈥�
