Ph.D. Student

After working with solid orals, I wanted to explore the drug discovery side of the pharmaceutical world. Structural biology has always fascinated me and to be able to manipulate protein function based on their structure is very exciting. Rahighi lab provides a perfect place for me to explore these interests

Kyle Gaw

Pharm.D. Capstone Student

The past 2 years of being a PharmD student at Chapman University School of Pharmacy has provided me with the knowledge that allows me to provide the best patient care possible. The chance to work in Dr. Rahighi’s lab gives me the chance to have a peek behind the curtains regarding drug design as well as use the theoretical information learned in my courses in real time. The knowledge gained from my experience within Dr. Rahighi’s will allow me to better inform other medical professionals, as well as my patients, how their drug works in their disease state(s).

Michelle Kara

Pharm.D. Capstone student

My desire to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry grows stronger every day as I progress through my academic training as a second-year PharmD student at Chapman University School of Pharmacy. After having the pleasure of meeting Dr.Rahighi and learning about her fascinating ongoing research project at CUSP, I recognized that the opportunities provided by Rahighi lab to learn about the drug development process and strategies align with my immediate goals as a PharmD student in pursuing post-graduate training in pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. This experience will allow me to incorporate my research skills into safe and effective future drug discovery, development, and delivery.
