A freshman-year speech class assignment came full circle this summer for Jenna
Martin, now a senior molecular biology major from Hebron, Kentucky.
For Martin's speech, she was asked to choose a potential career path to research and present. Martin
spoke about developing miniature organs that assist in studying transplantation - organoids. Little did
she know, three summers later she would be interning with Cincinnati Children's Hospital doing research
on organ transplantation that would be published and nationally recognized.
