Fariha Fairoz
Hello! I am a BME undergraduate interested in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Currently, I am working on silk culture at Kaplan Lab, which is used to make cool organ models. I love hiking, sketching and playing boardgames in my free time. Ask me more about BME at Tufts, research, or art at fariha.fairoz@tufts.edu !
Fatimah Mumuney
Hi everyone! I’m Fatimah and I’m originally from Nigeria. I’m currently studying biomedical engineering as a junior, with a focus on healthcare and a deep interest in gastrointestinal diseases. When I’m not busy with school, I love to cook, crochet, and travel (when my budget allows). I consider myself an adventurer at heart, and I’m determined to eventually cross scuba diving and sky diving off my bucket list. If you want to connect, feel free to reach out to me at fatimah.mumuney@tufts.edu!
Hamida Giwa
Hello! My name is Hamida Giwa and I am a junior studying biomedical engineering at Tufts University. My current health directions involve integrating biotechnology and translational research in order to address health inequities. I am most interested in diseases that continue to disproportionately impact marginalized groups such as hypertension and pre-eclampsia. I am currently a research assistant at the Mother Infant Research Institute at Tufts Medical Center.

Tracy Lu
My name is Tracy Lu, welcome to our website! I am currently a junior at Tufts University. I am majoring in Biomedical Engineering and minoring in Studio Art. I have been involved with research on muscle cell growth and cell coatings at the Kaplan Lab. After college, I hope to pursue a career in related to medicine, whether that be through medical school or research. Outside of school, I enjoy drawing, dancing, and spending time with friends and family. I am involved with the dance group Tufts KoDA, and enjoy filming dance cover videos in my free time. tracy.lu@tufts.edu
