Humza Khan pre MD/PhD discussion at the crossroads of science, politics, and literature (#008)

Hey there friends! This is Nicolas Cevallos. Thanks for tuning
into yet another episode of Pass the Mike where I have the
pleasure of sharing the narratives of imminent or current medical
professionals. In short, my job is to build you a community of
mentors from the folks that have come before you. I'm super
stoked to be able to start this podcast with one of my great
friends and research Gurus Humza Khan. That is H-U-M-Z-A SPACE
K-H-A-N. Humza is a rising senior at UCLA pursuing a degree in
what is the longest named major known at UCLA which is
Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics and will be
graduating two quarters early. He's not one to shy away from
taking 20+ units.


Humza and I met during our hospital program and during our first
meeting I knew there was so much potential to him, he felt like
the student version of the avatar and just needed to take time to
master the 4 elements or college scene before he went super
saiyan.


During his tenure he served as alumni mentor for his high school,
leadership board for the Bruin Xperiment which mentors 30+
underserved children one-on-one in scientific topics of their
interests, he was able to raise over $10,000 for the club! and
pours countless into his craft researching Common Variable
Immunodeficiency and has been published in Frontiers in
Immunology.


Can't forget to mention Humza speak many languages including R,
python Spanish, C++ also has 3,000 karma points on reddit and has
recently posted a major guide to assist other fellow bruins.


Humza's passionate for mentorship is bar none, from the
Xperiment, to high school, to fellow anonymous classmates on
reddit, Humza is always looking out.
