In our Practicum Pods series, current GDB students are interviewed by GDB Peer Advisors in a conversation that delves into their practicum projects! We highly encourage all of our students to tune in to our new Practicum Pods to learn about different types of research, mentorship, and project specifics!

Jorge Benitez (he/him) completed his GDB Practicum Project on "Biomechanisms Leading to Tissue Resident CD4 Memory T Cells during Bacterial Infection." Learn about Jorge's research experience in GDB Advising's April 2022 Practicum Pod!
