My name is Mira Varadachari, and I am a rising junior in Rutgers University - New Brunswick with a major in biomedical engineering. Since I embarked on my college journey, I yearned to secure an internship or research position and work in a laboratory to gain research and hands-on experience. At a young age, I developed an avidity for science, particlarly in science and medicine. As I commenced on my high school and college journey, I became zealous about psychology and neuroscience, and hoped to apply engineering disciplines to these fields. I am interested in research that entails biology, psychology, and neuroscience, primarily on psychological and neurological disorders and treatment to them. I want the chance to apply my knowledge and skills as well as gain new skills and expand my understanding. I want to apply whatever I learned from here to any career I pursue (Medical Research) and thereby make a meaningful impact to the world. 

Please reach out to me at himirav@gmail.com or mrv74@scarletmail.rutgers.edu about opportunities aligning with my passions.

Thank you,

Mira Varadachari 

My name is Tiffany Enemuo, and I am a rising senior at Rutgers University pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences. My laboratory experience thus far includes coursework in biology lab, general and organic chemistry lab, and physics lab. I have also completed courses such as Genetics, Molecular Genetics, Introduction to Cognitive Science, Psychopathology, and Biochemistry.

My research interests center on childhood development, particularly the interplay between nature and nurture, and how the interaction of genetics and environment may influence cognitive patterns, vulnerabilities, and the development of addictions later in life. I am also deeply interested in the scope of neuroplasticity and what the brain’s adaptability reveals about learning and resilience.

I would be honored to contribute to any research that explores these areas—or engages with related topics more broadly. If you are interested, I would be glad to share my resume and further discuss how I might support your research efforts. Please reach out to me via email at tce22@scarletmail.rutgers.edu.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

Tiffany Enemuo

My name is Vincent DiGioia-Laird. I am a recent graduate of the Rutgers School of Social Work MSW program. I currently work as a peer support specialist within the New Jersey State Prison system and volunteer with the REACH lab with Dr. Alex Bauer. Working within the prison system I realized that if we don’t change policy within the addiction field, we will never create lasting change. I am currently applying to Social Work PhD programs which includes the Rutgers PhD program. I am interested in working on alternatives to FDA approved Addiction Medications and people’s experiences with these alternatives. I am also very interested in Mental health and Addiction treatment qualitative data while discussing people experiences in these facilities and what limitation exist. I am also very interested in researching Funding within the Mental Health and Addiction industry and looking at the differences between large behavioral organization and smaller grassroot organizations. By combining my past finance experiences, lived experiences and educational experiences I hope to bring true accountability to a recovery industry that has manipulated and left many people out to fend for themselves. Please feel free to reach out to me at Vincentadigioia@gmail.com or Vdigioia@ubhc.rutgers.edu. I look forward to transitioning from my current career to exploring new opportunities to work on cutting edge addiction and treatment research studies. I have attached my current CV/Resume if any of my current qualifications fit project needs, I would love the opportunity to discuss further.

Thank you for your time! 

Warm Regards,
