Alya Alobaidi — HTGAA Spring 2026'
About me
I’m genuinely interested in neuroscience, research, and understanding how diseases work at a deeper level. I enjoy bench work and the process of experimenting, failing, and trying again.That’s where I feel most connected to science, not just reading about it.
I also love solo travel and discovering new places. Being on my own in different environments has shaped how I think and how I see the world, especially when it comes to people, systems, and inequalities. It’s made me more independent and more aware that science never exists in isolation.
My long-term goal is to contribute something meaningful through science, whether that’s helping develop better ways to understand or treat disease, improving how research is done, or being part of work that actually helps people. I know big impact takes time, learning, and persistence, and I’m committed to that journey.
