Aaron Fond is a physician fellow in gastroenterology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he works as both a clinician and researcher. His research interests include how innate immunology plays a role in the GI tract. Aaron has a B.S. from Rice University and a M.D. and Ph.D. from The University of Virginia, where his research focused on cell signaling in immune cells and was supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). From now on, he plans to take copious notes so that his lab notebooks are fit for museum display—just in case.
