Aminah Johnson is a biology major from Cheltenham, Pennsylvania who is looking to receive a Ph.D. in developmental biology so that she can conduct research on the relationship between cell signaling and the development of disease.
Johnson decided to attend Spelman College because she desired to have a welcoming environment to improve her knowledge and achieve personal growth. She chose to pursue STEM because she wants the opportunity to improve people’s quality of life through a field that she loves.
“LINCS Scholars are two-year cohorts of women scientists at Spelman College, who aspire to become leaders in STEM. These students contribute dynamic science and diverse perspective to a growing field. Typically, most of our LINCS Scholars reside in Laura Spelman Residence Hall, a social justice dorm on Spelman’s campus."
