Biochem Major Scores
Research Position
Senior Biochemistry major Kristen Snitchler completed a
summer internship at Kennedy Krieger in the Behavioral
Psychology Department, specifically within the Child and
Family Therapy Clinic. Snitchler worked alongside post-
doctoral fellows and psychologists in order to score patient
measures and create assessment reports for patients at the
clinic. Additionally, she was able to observe counseling
sessions, group sessions, and individual sessions run by
the clinicians. Snitchler is interested in pursuing a career
in medical research and has already a fair amount of
independent research experience under her belt.
After graduation this December, she will join the
Structural Biophysics Laboratory (SBL) at the National
Institutes of Health as part of the Postbaccalaureate
Intramural Research Training Program. The SBL focuses
on solution structural biology and biophysics aimed at
understanding and regulating the mechanism of action
of proteins and nucleic acids. Congratulations, Kristen!
