Briana Christophers is a 4th year MD-PhD student at the Weill Cornell/Rockefeller/Sloan Kettering Tri-Institutional MD-PhD program. Though early in her academic and scientific career, Briana has already established herself as a thought-leader and a strong advocate for diversity in the physician-scientist pathway. As an undergraduate at Princeton University, she worked in organizations such as Princeton Latinos y amigos, the Latinx Collective and initiatives including Project Welcome Mat: A Guide for First-Generation students, all work that was recognized by the Frederick Douglass Service Award, the Spirit of Princeton Award, and the Santos-Dumont Award for Innovation. Now, in addition to the demands of MD-PhD training, Briana continues this work by co-running the Association of Diverse Physician-Scientists in Training, as a co-author and lead editor of the Free Guide to Medical School Admissions, and by developing the Mini-lessons by Medical Scientists video series. She also recently wrote a piece for the behind the microscope blog which can be found at www.behindthemicroscope.com.
