Edward Larkin

I'm a med student at the UPenn. In a past life, I studied classics at Notre Dame and health policy at the London School of Economics. I've worked in several research labs, as well as in health tech at the West Health Institute and policy at the Strategy Group in the UK Department of Health.

I’m passionate about understanding psychiatric illness and cognitive decline. I think that our quest to understand the biological mechanisms of and develop treatments for these diseases will be one of the major stories our time, similar to the advancements in cardiovascular disease and cancer that have defined the past 50 years in medicine.

I hope to be part of this renaissance in clinical, business, and policy capacities, and I look forward to bringing my experiences to bear on what I believe to be an intellectually fascinating and necessary problem.
