Shuwen Zhang

Hello everyone and welcome to the Humbio core! My name is Shuwen and I’m thrilled to be one of your A-side CAs this year. The Humbio program has been such a tight knit and supportive community during my time here as an undergrad, and I can’t wait for you to forge a place that you’re proud and passionate about for the next few years! My area of concentration was Human Health, Physiology, and Epidemiology, which helped me connect my interests in public health advocacy, community-based health initiatives, and the science of human physiological systems. I knew I had a love for teaching starting sophomore year when I helped teach the EMT course (EMED 111A) for fall quarter, and then was lucky enough to be the TAide for Dr. Kurina’s Introduction to Statistics for the Health Sciences (HUMBIO 88, the best population health statistics class at Stanford, my unbiased opinion!) as well as a Seeds of Change mentor during my senior year. Outside of research and teaching, I love to read, hike, or just people-watch in San Francisco whenever I have free time. I’m very excited to know all of you better and accompany you through your Core experience this year, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
