Established in 2001, the BRIN program was created to expose students to serious biomedical research, build a statewide biomedical research infrastructure between undergraduate and graduate institutions and to strengthen each undergraduate institution’s infrastructure and increase its capacity to conduct cutting-edge biomedical and behavioral research.
Today, we meet Sabreena Bathke, one of the new BRIN scholars on campus.
Who is Sabreena Bathke?
I am from a small town in northeast Nebraska. I love to go to the river and go swimming and fishing. I love being around my family.
Has science always been a part of your life?
Yes. I have been watching Discovery Channel with my dad for as long as I can remember. In the sixth grade, I knew I was going to be a scientist.
How is it important to you?
I want to make improvements in peoples’ lives. I love being involved in science and I want a career that will allow me to explore new ideas.
Why did you choose to participate in the BRIN program?
A professor of mine told me about the program and I thought it sounded great.
What do you hope to gain from the program?
I hope to gain knowledge and a better understanding of what science research would be like for a career.
