Delaney Liskey was diagnosed with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (MS) when she was eleven years old — a rare form of a commonly diagnosed disease. Today, as a graduate student in the inaugural class of the Regenerative Sciences PhD Track at the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Delaney highly values the patient perspective in biomedical research. Through her personal experiences, she explains that empowering patients with the skillsets and opportunities to study their individual disease at the laboratory bench will lead to substantial advancements in biomedical research.
