Hatim Amiji, B.S. , is a medical student at the Frank H. Netter M.D. School of Medicine at Quinnipiac Univeristy. He is interested in evolutionary mechanisms by which microbiota gain resistance to new therapies, with a particular emphasis on genetics. As an undergraduate he studied the evolution of beer yeast within the larger narrative of domestication with the Karras lab, and as a medical student he is working on looking specifically at antiobiotic resistance mechanisms in patient isolated bacteremia isolates with the Shelburne lab. Moreover, his interest in computational biology has bled into the field of image processing using artifical intelligence working at the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine with the Chuang Lab to define tumor heteogeniety using hemotoxylin and eosin tumor slides
