Sophia Mora First-Year Chemistry Major Secures NASA-Sponsored Internship
March 20, 2024
In the few short months since she started her college career at Rutgers University–Camden, chemistry major Sophia Mora secured a NASA-sponsored internship, where she is uncovering new ways to target drug delivery in breast cancer patients.
The work is personal, as her father’s side of the family has a history of the disease. The first-year, first-generation student, who has loved science her entire life, selected the biochemistry track at Rutgers–Camden precisely for its human applications.
“It’s a field that resonated with me,” Mora said. “The statistics we use aren’t simply numbers; there are people behind it.”
