Tanvi is a rising junior at the Honors College. I'm majoring in Cell Biology and Neuroscience and minoring in Linguistics, and I hope to pursue an MD/PhD after graduation. I am heavily involved in research at Rutgers, helped found the Rutgers Undergraduate Research Journal, and was named a 2020 Goldwater Scholar for my research in macrophage-mediated pulmonary inflammation. I am also part of the Rutgers Club Fencing Team and I am involved in a lot of teaching and mentoring activities on campus.
