Jacqueline Lu

Hello and welcome to the HumBio Core! I am beyond excited to return as a CA this year and cannot wait to meet you all. I recently graduated with a degree in Human Biology, completing my concentration in Neuroscience and Child Development. During my time as a Humbio student, I have had the opportunity to explore translational neurobiology research, participate in community-based health initiatives, and develop policy-level solutions to public health crises. After completing research projects in both the Stem Cell and Neuroscience Institutes, I was inspired to pursue a Notation in Science Communication to expand my advocacy for accessible health communication and inclusive scientific discourse. I am passionate about enacting community-led change and have worked closely with the Haas Center for Public Service, completing a Cardinal Quarter with the Food as Medicine Collaborative in SF to address nutritional insecurity in underserved communities. I have also volunteered extensively as a Mandarin interpreter and pre-clinical assistant with Stanford’s Cardinal Free Clinics. Outside of HumBio girlboss-ing, I love spending time outdoors hiking, swimming in the ocean, rock climbing, curating hundreds of random playlists, and making/eating food with friends. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any concerns you might have—I am thrilled to learn more about all of you! Go HumBio!!
