By the summer after his sophomore year, he had secured an internship researching circadian rhythms at the University of Texas Health Science Center. The following summer, Ayoub investigated bone formation at Washington University in St. Louis. Each time, he returned to Oberlin to push his research further under the guidance of biology professor Maureen Peters. Their work together led directly to Ayoub’s first job after graduation: as a research technician at Baylor College of Medicine. Today Ayoub, who completed Oberlin majors in anthropology and biology, is pursuing two more degrees that span both disciplines: a PhD and MD at the Ohio State University. Learn more about Ayoub’s research and passions - and how exactly his work with worms set him on his current path - at the #linkinbio. #oberlincollege #research #theohiostateuniversity ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 272 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 2 ## Credits These are the roles credited on Gondola.
