ReACH Lab Welcomes New Research Assistants

02 Aug ReACH Lab Welcomes New Research Assistants

This upcoming Fall semester, the ACE Project will be welcoming three new Research Assistants: Luis Diaz, Alexandra Sawczak, and Kevin Leiva.

Luis Diaz Carrasco is a Post-Bac Research Assistant who received a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Florida International University. Through volunteering and working as a medical scribe, Luis confirmed his passion for the field of medicine. More specifically preventive medicine, which focuses on promoting health and preventing disease in individuals and communities. He plans on attending medical school and obtaining his M.D. degree, with the goal of using his skills to help build a healthcare system based on the prevention of diseases.

Alexandra Sawczak is an Undergraduate Honors student at Florida International University majoring in Biological Sciences. She is very passionate about furthering her education in medicine and pursuing a career in pulmonology. As president and founder of Be The Match On Campus, she fundraises and registers donors for the National Bone Marrow Registry in order to save lives of patients with blood cancers. Alexandra is an executive board member of Alpha Epsilon Delta Pre-Health Honor Society and a member of Phi Delta Epsilon Pre-Medical Fraternity, where she has been able to enhance her knowledge and skills in the medical field and raises funds for the Children’s Miracle Network.

Kevin Leiva, who will work closely with ReACH Lab graduate student Julie Cristello, is an undergraduate student majoring in biological sciences with a minor in business. Kevin is a QBIC scholar and a member of the international medical Fraternity, Phi Delta Epsilon. Being a part of these organizations has allowed Kevin to spend more time helping others and bringing joy to those in need, and in the future, plans to attend medical school and become a physician to better serve the people in this community, focusing on minorities.

Thank you to all ReACH Lab RAs for your hard work and your interest in our research!
