2022 #BeckmanScholar (and recent graduate!) Helen Xia talks about alkylation of indoles, the importance of resilience and adaptability, and her future MD-PhD plans in the Beckman Friday Feature. Mentored Undergraduate Research Experience Leads to Key Lab Role and Journal Publication for University of Richmond Student Helen Xia, who graduated from the University of Richmond on May 12, 2024, is making a giant leap toward a goal she set as a teen: Becoming a physician-scientist who can save and improve people’s lives. Xia, who majored in biochemistry & molecular biology and minored in leadership studies, is now on her way to UT Southwestern where she will enter an MD-PhD program through the Perot Family Scholars Medical Scientist Training Program. “I am dedicated to conducting both basic and clinical translational research in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. To best achieve this, I need both the research expertise to advance science and the clinical expertise to implement these advancements,” shared Xia. “The MD-PhD program is the perfect bridge between my dual passions: scientific research and medicine.” That meant applying to MD-PhD programs – and undertaking a lot of preparation. Not merely the kind of preparation that involves getting paperwork in order or taking certain prerequisites, but the sort of preparation that someone with a singular focus or a dream or a calling embarks on to meld themselves into whatever it takes to achieve success.
