Anahita Deboo, B.A. 1993

Professor of Clinical Neurology, Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine – Philadelphia PA

1993 Major: Chemistry

How has being a Chemistry graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"My science courses, in particular biochemistry, prepared me very well for medical school. I switched to a chemistry major later in my Duke career and it was a much better fit for a premedical curriculum than my prior physics major."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Chemistry programs? 

"Take advantage of every opportunities to find support from and build relationships with the faculty, graduate students, and your fellow classmates while at Duke."
