Christine Abeysekera's ePortfolio

Hello, my name is Christine Abeysekera and my pronouns are she/her. I will be a second year neuroscience major in the School of Science with hopes of going to Medical School or any career in the healthcare field. I specifically chose premed because I think it is a fulfilling career in many ways, especially in improving the lives of patients. I have been interested in the brain and its functions since I was younger from being exposed to what dementia can do to a loved one and the family. 

I am interning with gastroenterologist, Dr. Desai at IU Health, and my project is focused on liver disease and improving care after liver transplant surgery for patients.
