Advisor: Dr. Richard Keijzer
Assessment of circular ribonucleic acid expression profiles in
biofluids for the prognosis and diagnosis of congenital anomalies
As an aspiring physician, Nolan believes it’s not only important
to understand the clinician’s perspective, but to also understand
the underlying processes behind the health problems they treat.
His current research is in understanding how circular RNA can
predict congenital anomalies that may contribute to abnormal lung
development. He wants to bring basic sciences and biomedical
engineering together to improve treatment options. He is also a
strength and conditioning coach as well as a mixed martial artist.
