Aimee Uwimana
Summer Intern 2007, University of Arizona College of Medicine, Pharmacology and Anesthesiology Department (Tucson).

Aimee Uwimana was selected for an Arizona Biology Network (ABN) Program summer internship at The University of Arizona College of Medicine (Tucson) in the summer of 2007. She joined the lab of Prof. Todd Vanderah and the group's research efforts in elucidating the dynamics of neuronal plasticity — the ability of neurons to change in response to new stimuli — under conditions of acute and chronic pain; her summer project consisted in testing and analyzing the effect that several drugs have on pain. Previously, Aimee successfully completed an internship in Prof. Vanderah's group during the summer of 2005 as a National Institutes of Health High School Student Medical Researcher, and presented her results at the Society for Neurosciences Meeting in 2005.

Aimee Uwimana- a native of Rwanda- is a sophomore at Phoenix College majoring in Biology. Her goal is to attend Medical School and become a doctor.
