Junior Specialist   

Jaden is the lab's junior specialist who is from the greater Sacramento area, where he received a B.S. from Morehouse College in biology with Summa Cum Laude distinction, maintaining a stellar GPA of 3.94 and is a member of his institution's Phi Beta Kappa Society, achieving all of this while finishing his degree early. At the Beleford Lab, Jaden handles a variety of tasks, including managing the lab's finances and safety measures, generating and maintaining cell lines, and assisting in alleviating the busy schedules of undergraduates by setting up experiments ahead of time. His future goals include pursuing an MD in oncology and hematology, as well as a PhD in human diseases, aligning with the Bedford Lab's mission. This alignment is what drew him to want to join the Beleford lab. Outside the science domain, he enjoys working out, playing soccer, and spending time with his friends and family, especially his younger brother.
