Background

About Krystal Johnson

Hi! I’m Krystal—a recent Master of Arts in Molecular Biology graduate with a background in clinical care, cancer research, and community health. My academic and professional background spans clinical care, biomedical research, and community health, with a strong focus on advancing patient-centered research and healthcare equity. My experience includes conducting laboratory research focused on developing drug-loaded microspheres for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer, supporting high-volume outpatient care as a medical assistant, and participating in a medical mission trip providing direct care and education in underserved areas of Panama. I have also held leadership roles in student organizations, coordinated clinical shadowing programs, and volunteered in both pediatric and hospital settings. I am passionate about bridging scientific research and patient care, and I am actively seeking opportunities in clinical research where I can contribute to high-impact projects and continue building a career grounded in service, integrity, and innovation.
