Proudest Moment: Becoming a Rhodes Scholarship finalist
Hello! My name is Keong Mu Lim, and I go by Jason. I graduated from the University of Washington in June 2021. I majored in Neuroscience (B.S.) and minored in Chemistry. My bigger goal is to reconceptualize and bring equity in healthcare in the States and Korea by promoting progressive capitalistic ideals. I see my career in medicine, working in clinical, research, and entrepreneurial settings. Ultimately, I wish to work towards building a network of hospitals, research institutions, and start-ups to help people at the individual, molecular, and population level. I truly believe that this network can advance medicine by effectively transforming scientific discoveries into scalable
Outside the class, I love exploring nature and getting involved around campus. I love hiking, camping, and hope to start beekeeping someday! I was part of several activities and programs on campus, including the interdisciplinary honors program, which helped me enrich my education at UW.
