Biography
Adeya Wyatt is a chemical engineering major concentrating in biomedicine and biotechnology from Oakland, California. Wyatt plans to earn her Ph.D. in bioengineering, researching pharmacogenetics and the future of personalized medicine. Howard has been a dream school for Wyatt since first visiting campus as a middle school student. She eventually chose to attend because of the numerous opportunities available and the empowering feeling she says she feels when she sees so many people who look like her succeeding. Wyatt was drawn to STEM because of her love for learning, and saw both chemical engineering and bioengineering and interdisciplinary fields that she would never stop learning in. Wyatt wants to diversify the research workforce, and use her research to help minority communities who are often left to use treatments that were created based on data from Europeans, despite being genetically different.
