Cameron Yi

Cameron graduated from Princeton University with a BA in Molecular Biology and a certificate in Neuroscience. Her senior thesis research involved conducting stereotaxic neurosurgery on rats to determine a pathway possibly involved in decision making. She volunteered as an EMT at Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad and has been a member of the squad since 2012. Her other primary activity on campus is the Student Global AIDS Campaign, a club that focuses on raising funds and awareness about HIV/AIDS in the student population and the surrounding community. She has also had the opportunity to take her interest in HIV/AIDS abroad through her internship at UNESCO’s Health Promotion Unit in Bangkok, Thailand where she analyzed national action plans and epidemiological data from countries in the Asia Pacific. In the summer of 2012, she interned as a clinical research assistant at UChicago Medical Center for CPR research where she aided in planning initial testing of an application measuring mental awareness in cardiac arrest patients. She has also had the opportunity to view the medical field from a biotechnology perspective through her internship in 2011 at Philips Medical Systems in their AED development unit.
