Hannah Pan

I grew up in Los Angeles and later attended UC Davis, where I majored in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior and minored in Sociocultural Anthropology. As an undergraduate, I worked with underserved Asian patients at a free student-run clinic in Sacramento. I observed how factors such as language, culture, living conditions, financial status, and social support all played integral roles in shaping a patient’s individual healthcare experience. This exposure drew me to the Jih Lab, where I aim to continue my involvement in AAPI health and promote health equity for marginalized communities through research. In the future, I hope to attend medical school.
