Merck Internship
During my junior year, I received a substantial scholarship from the UNCF/Merck Science Initiative. The award covered all of my tuition and housing for the 2013-14 academic year. It also included eligibility to be selected to participate in the 2013 Merck Future Talent Program, which I was selected for. During the following summer, I worked at the Merck site in Rahway, NJ. There, I evaluated the dissolution performance of novel drug formulations and accessed methods for dissolution testing. This further developed my insights into what it takes to bring treatment to the clinic in terms of critical literature review, detailed observation, interpretation of data, and presentation of results.
In addition, we met fellow scholars and interns and took the opportunity on some weekends to explore.
