Speaking about the Amgen program, Khoshkhoo said “It’s a great opportunity considering that last summer I did research the whole time, plus had full-time classes so I was eligible to stay on campus. This year, because of this program, I get to stay on campus and do full-time research without worrying about classes. Also, Amgen offers a lot of support.”
