UCLA-Caltech MSTP (MD-PhD)

Introducing the second of our new UCLA-Caltech MSTP students… the great Kate Wang!

Kate hails from San Diego, CA and graduated from @vanderbiltu! In her free time, she enjoys exploring museums, seeing live music, going to the beach, and trying new restaurants!

What excites you most about starting an MD/PhD program?

I’m most excited about being able to grow in both the clinical and research worlds and letting each perspective shape the other. I can’t wait to learn from mentors and peers who share the same passion for bridging science and medicine.

Why did you choose UCLA-Caltech?

I loved how collaborative and friendly the community felt, and I was excited by the breadth of neuroscience research happening here. Being close to family and the opportunity to work with diverse patient populations were also really meaningful to me!

What are your LA Bucket items?

Watch a live Olympics event, go to a concert at the Hollywood Bowl, attend a movie premiere, find the best hidden gem restaurants.
