Korinna Sherman of Poland, a Thiel College student, will spend the summer at the University of South Florida working with Theresa Zeziewicz, M.D., and a team of researchers doing a clinical study of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.

Sherman is an undergraduate member of the biochemistry program at Thiel. She was chosen as a result of her work on a Greenville Neuromodulation Center Faculty/Student Research Institute project she conducted last summer.

The project provided Sherman experience in animal care and handling, drug and behavioral testing, histology, microscopy and data analysis.
