Abby Glick is a second-year M.S. student in Molecular Nutrition with the Aydemir Lab at Cornell University. She earned her B.S. in Dietetics from Iowa State University, where she contributed to clinical and community-based research. Drawing on this foundation in human studies, Abby’s current work explores the molecular mechanisms underlying gut disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease, and how these findings can inform clinical interventions. She is particularly passionate about bridging molecular discoveries with patient-centered interventions to improve gastrointestinal health.
