2026–2027 CCE Fellow
Christopher Avalos
I am a fourth-year PhD student in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) program at Harvard Medical School. I am originally from Central California and attended UCLA for my undergraduate studies. I was part of an amazing program called HHMI Pathways to Success, which prioritizes providing a community for underrepresented students in science. This program ignited my desire to create and maintain representation for everyone in science and in higher education generally. This is what I hope to do as a CCE Fellow.
