Hi, I’m Erika Bistran! I am from Dunmore, Pennsylvania and graduated from Marywood University in 2021 with my Bachelor of Biology. At Marywood University, I played basketball and planned to attend Physician Assistant school until I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in June of 2022. I was able to get a job here at MUSC where I fell in love with science being a lab technician. In my free time, I love running and lifting and when I am not doing either of those I am usually on the boat with my dogs. When I realized the front line is not exclusive to patient encounters but includes researchers pushing to unveil novel discoveries, I knew science was for me.
