First-Gen Forward: Dina Tekle is closing gaps in medical research, women in STEM
“Prairie View Produces Productive People” is how the adage goes. Dina Tekle, a senior biology student at Prairie View A&M set to graduate this spring, is redefining it: being a woman in medical research and working to close gaps in knowledge in the understanding of diseases and illness. She is hoping to play a part in eliminating diseases such as metastatic breast cancer, a field she previously focused on in her research. She is now working in biochemistry research.
