Top SchoolJake Young is a first-year medical student at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV with a strong research foundation from a BS in Biology at the University of Utah and a minor in pediatric clinical research. He has hands-on experience across translational labs and clinical settings, from CRISPR-driven human genetics work to bedside documentation as a bariatric surgery scribe and patient-facing research coordination in a pediatric ED. His projects span cancer biology, surgical education, and interventions for K-12 students with high-incidence disabilities, reflecting a rare blend of bench techniques and education-focused study design. Jake values collaborative, ethics-driven research aimed at improving patient outcomes and educational equity, and he actively seeks opportunities to translate scientific findings into clinical impact. Outside of medicine, he pursues creative outlets—art and music—which he credits for sustaining curiosity and problem-solving stamina. Based in Las Vegas, he brings a patient-centered mindset, meticulous documentation skills, and a drive to bridge basic science with meaningful clinical applications.
