Madison Cuthbertson

Madison began research as a Junior at Hume-Fogg Academic High School. Drawn to academic research by a passion for science and discovery, she was connected to the institute and Manning lab by Bruce Damon and has flourished in both chemistry and biology with her research. Mentored by Mike Schulte, her research includes synthetic chemistry and biology, developing novel ligands for PET imaging of lung cancer. Researching throughout the school year and summer months, she has developed an understanding of complex scientific processes and is able to contribute significantly to the lab. In her free time, Madison enjoys traveling and reading classic novels and scientific literature. She also likes to hike with her family and study foreign languages (currently Spanish, French and Italian).
