Carlos is an undergraduate student majored in Biochemistry at Rowan University on the pre-med track, aspiring to pursue a career in neurosurgery. He has long been fascinated by uncertainty and the unknown, which naturally drew him to study one of the most complex organs in the human body - the brain. While saving lives is a central goal for every physician, Carlos is equally motivated by the opportunity to improve patients’ quality of life. His passion for medicine stems from a deep curiosity about the mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases and a desire to alleviate their impact. He hopes to contribute to advancing treatments that not only enhance quality of life but also prevent these devastating diseases from limiting human potential.
