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

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).
