Meet Beth

Hi! My name is Beth, and I am a Junior BSPS Student from Buckinghamshire, England. I came to URI for its outstanding pharmaceutical sciences program, beautiful campus, and fantastic sailing team. I am currently an undergraduate research assistant in Dr Li’s lab getting hands-on lab experience with faculty members and course credits. I have had such a great time working with other undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty to gain invaluable lab skills that I know I will use in the future. I feel so proud to be a part of The College of Pharmacy here at URI because of the phenomenal research that takes place in so many different labs across such a vast array of areas.
