Luigi Russo (2022 - current)

I am Luigi, a first-year medical student at the University of British Columbia’s Southern Medical Program in Kelowna, BC. I graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in May 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts in Health and Human Kinetics, specializing in Exercise Science, while competing as a varsity baseball player. My interest in clinical research began during my internship at BC Cancer in 2022, where I joined the CanSaRCC team and have since contributed to four research projects focused on various types of sarcomas and treatments. These experiences have deepened my passion for cancer research and strengthened my desire to integrate clinical practice with scientific discovery.
