For six years, Dr. Benjamin Allwein studied to be a scientist at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences, immersed in structural biology and biochemistry. His educational journey investigating proteins involved in metabolism and DNA replication was intellectually rewarding, but it was also bookended by uncertainty and disruption.

Dr. Allwein started his doctoral studies in July 2019, fresh off a year-long Fulbright Scholarship working with physicians in India. The COVID-19 pandemic struck within a year of beginning his studies and he lost a grandparent to the disease.
