I am heavily involved with music, as I play both the alto saxophone and the piano. I am going into life sciences, and my ultimate goal is medical school. I have done some cool work, including volunteering in hospitals in Sri Lanka, as well as teaching piano to children who can not normally afford lessons. I have won a couple awards and scholarships in music, both individually and with my school bands. The two things I enjoy most are meeting new people and a good meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amila SamarabanduInvestigating effects of Capsaicin Induced Apoptosis via an Extrinsic PathwaysA.B.
