Jamie Moroco, PhD

  • Postdoctoral Associate

Why did you choose the University of Pittsburgh?

I like the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of the university, the diverse research interests of the faculty, and the translational aspect of the research from bench to bedside at the UPMC hospitals. And because I love Pittsburgh!

Following her graduation, Dr. Moroco accepted a position as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the lab of Dr. John Engen at Northeastern University.
