U-Research: Andrew Tarr

Biology/Neuroscience

tarrHi all! My name is Andrew Tarr. I am in the fifth year of my undergraduate studies at The Ohio State University. I will graduate with a B.S. in Biology and minor studies in Neuroscience. My first research experiences come from working in a Neuroscience lab where I participated in discovering the effects of chemotherapy, stress, and anxiety on the nervous system in mice. Through joining the U-Research lab, I have been able to direct my research interests toward conducting human research. The project I am working on now is lending us insight into the effects of maternal hormones on early development. I am hopeful that this new area of research will help me grow, both as a student and a professional before I apply to medical school.
