Writing a research paper on Parkinson’s Disease landed Senior Reem Abba a nomination from Pioneer Research Journal, an international publication, featuring undergraduate research.

The evaluation process includes Abba’s The Promise of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in the Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease research paper and her personal challenges compared to her peers around the world.

“Only the top 12 percent of the research project[s] in the year’s Pioneer Research Program were nominated,” Dr. Daniel Dubo of Pioneer Academic said.

Abba accepted a full-ride scholarship from Questbride to Rice University in Fall 2021.

“So, you should be very proud of your student accomplishments,” Dubo expressed.
