Mai Ly Tran Burke
Masters Student in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling, admitted Autumn 2024
BioI am Mai Ly Burke, a first-year Master's student studying Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling. Having grown up in Vietnam—a country that grapples with many health challenges—my work is fueled by a genuine passion for giving back to my community. I was inspired to enter the genetic counseling field by my volunteer work supporting children with cancer in public hospitals in Vietnam, where I saw the urgent need for improved access to healthcare and genetic services. My long-term goal is to facilitate the introduction of the genetic counseling field to Vietnam, where there is a stark shortage of genetic experts, focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and screening of diseases like cancer to improve health outcomes in my community.
Please feel free to reach out to connect! I am always looking to meet others who share my passion for genetics, global health, and health equity.
