\"\"<\/a>Elizabethtown College alumna Christina Angelucci \u201918 has been serving as a lead researcher in a new cutting-edge COVID-19 treatment trial for the Main Line Health Hospital System in Philadelphia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Angelucci, who majored in Biology while at Etown, has been running the I-SPY COVID-19 trial, working as a liaison between the clinical staff and those sponsoring the study.<\/p>\n

The I-SPY trial provides access to four pioneering drugs that are administered in addition to pre-existing therapies. The trial is available to the most critically ill COVID-19 patients\u2014only those requiring a ventilator, or a high volume of oxygen are eligible. Therapies found to be effective will progress into a larger study while ineffective drugs are removed.<\/p>\n

Angelucci gained career experience during her time at Etown, working as a liaison for the Biology Department, a lab TA, and a peer tutor for her Genetics course.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for the relationships I cultivated at Etown, I wouldn\u2019t know some of my most valuable strengths that I now carry through when speaking to patients, coworkers, and physicians,\u201d Angelucci said.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Angelucci shines light on the close-knit campus community provided by Etown, describing the multitude of opportunities offered during her College career. She encourages current Blue Jays to optimize all the resources at their disposal.<\/p>\n

\u201cUtilize your professors and all of the knowledge they contain,\u201d Angelucci said. \u201cThe best thing I did while at Etown was understand that I went to a small school for a reason, and that was to absorb all it had to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
