Alisa Luu is a post-baccalaureate pre-medical student at California State University, East Bay, where she serves as President of the APAMSA chapter. She graduated from Cornell University with a B.A. in Biology and Society. Alisa’s dedication to pediatric health is deeply tied to her clinical experience with pediatric stem cell transplant patients at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, which inspired a growing interest in stem cell therapy and pediatric hematology/oncology. She actively pairs this clinical focus with advocacy by initiating collaborations with NMDP to organize stem cell donor registry drives on campus. As the Pediatrics Student Specialty Section Representative, she is excited to empower students passionate about pediatrics and the future of stem cell transplantation. In her free time, Alisa enjoys rock climbing and spending time with her orange cat, Wilbur.
