Hello, my name is John Venezia and I am a neuroscience major here at IUPUI. In addition to studying neuroscience, I am also on the pre-physician assistant track and gaining experience as a clinical research intern through LHSI. Throughout my internship I will be conducting clinically oriented gastrointestinal disease research focusing on diseases that effect the gut-brain interaction alongside Dr. Shin. In addition to my LHSI internship I am also gaining essential clinical experience by working in an emergency department as a tech.
