Steven Bhutra hails from Houston, Texas. He is a senior following the cellular and molecular track in the Biology major. He loves genetics and has worked in three different genetics labs on and off Stanford campus. Over the past year he has been pursuing an honors thesis in Dr. Jim Ford's lab, studying the mechanism of a new anti cancer drug called PARP inhibitors in triple negative breast cancer patients. Outside of the premed bump and grind, Steven has served as co chair of Sanskriti, a residential assistant in Mirrielees, a health advocacy mentor for middle school kids, and the student leader of the National Collegiate Health Improvement Project. In his spare time, Steven lifts, cooks, naps, and watches The Wire. Next year he hopes to attend a MD/PhD program somewhere warm.

Sarah Lummis is a senior from Jackson, Wyoming and is following the Marine Biology track in the Biology major. She worked in the Watt lab on campus and in Colorado before deciding to focus on the ocean. She loves marine biology and has spent two quarters at Hopkins Marine Station, one of them being Stanford@SEA! She is doing her honors thesis in Fio Micheli's lab at Hopkins, studying small grazing communities of the intertidal using stable isotope analysis. Sarah has been involved with the B team of women's ultimate frisbee and will be an RA in Paloma this year. She loves hiking, camping, scuba diving, and spending time around the ocean. She hopes to go to graduate school after finishing her time at Stanford, but is also considering sticking around for a co-term!

Emma Powell is a junior from Southern California and is following the Biochemistry/Biophysics track in the Biology major. She loves many aspects of biology, including ecology and is involved with the Stanford Scientific Magazine and Students for a Sustainable Stanford. She is studying abroad this year in Madrid. Emma is doing her honors work in Suzanne Pfeffer's lab in the Biochemistry Department and is hoping to pursue research at the graduate level after finishing at Stanford.

Lily Saadat is a senior Biology major from Danville, CA. While she is passionate about many diverse fields of biology, she is primarily interested in the developing role of stem cells in clinical treatment. Lily is currently working in Irv Weissman's lab, focusing specifically on cardiac regeneration. In addition to her biological studies, Lily spent a quarter studying abroad in Paris, works as an Oral Communication Tutor in the Center for Teaching and Learning, and volunteers with Face Aids, a Stanford non-profit organization. In her free time, Lily enjoys traveling, learning new languages and spending time with family and friends.

Tina Zheng is a senior from Lincoln, Nebraska. She is majoring in Biology and minoring in History. She has a wide range of interest in the field of biology, from molecular biology to the application of biology in disease prevention. Tina has enjoyed a variety of bio courses, including her SoCo course on viruses, ecology, and plant biochemistry. She served as a PHE during her junior year, is a patient advocate at MayView community clinic, and writes for the Daily when she can. Tina is doing her honors thesis work in Ashby Morrison's lab. She loves following Stanford Cross Country and Track, watching pretty bad TV, and butchering foreign languages. Tina hopes to pursue an MD or PhD or both!
