Exceptional people influence one’s life choices. For Sam Regalado, those people – from Bill Nye “The Science Guy,” to a distinguished Native American great-great grandmother – have shaped a determination to advance his career in medicine and science as well as the careers of others through diversity and inclusion.
Regalado is an MD-PhD candidate at the University of Washington. He expects next year to complete his doctorate, working alongside BBI’s Drs. Jay Shendure and Cole Trapnell, in the UW Medicine Department of Genome Sciences. His desire to practice precision medicine as a clinician and a researcher is matched – or maybe exceeded – by an uncompromising commitment to engage and inspire people of diverse cultures and backgrounds.
