Muhammed Fazeel

Graduated: May 2012

Favorite IB class and why: Ecology and Human Health (IB 361). Professor Allan held a fantastic class related to health. I especially liked it since he made a conscious effort of making relevant lectures based on current/recent epidemics.

Favorite extra curricular activities (undergraduate research, clubs, etc) and why: Being part of the Illinois Launch program at the Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership.

Why you chose IB:  Integrative Biology took a broader approach at understanding the world from a biology perspective which I found very stimulating.

How you feel IB helped prepare you for your career:  My time at U of I has given me the basic skills needed to better understand and address problems.

What you’re up to now: Soon after I graduated, I started a biomedical startup in Chicago. We have set up partnerships with a few clinics and our work is set to help several heart patients across America.

In case anyone hasn’t noticed yet, we are on facebook!

Our academic advisors have set up a page where announcements are made and questions can be asked.  Check it out for updates on what is going on with the school, particularly if you are looking for reminders of those important dates and opportunities for our students.

In addition, an Integrative Biology group has been created within the “Groups at UIUC” umbrella.  You’ll need a @illinois.edu email to join the community, but it looks to be a great place for students and professors to exchange ideas and advice.

Lastly, in case you missed it the first time, we have a linked in group.  If you aren’t on linked in yet, get on there.  There’s nothing wrong with a little networking.  That is especially true when you can add some of our world class researchers to your contacts list.
