1st Year MPH: Malay Mody

Category : #WeAreEmoryEPI

For this week’s #IamEmoryEpi spotlight, we met up with Malay Mody!

Tell us a little bit about your academic history:

I am a proud alumnus of the University of Michigan, Class of 2019. Go Blue!

What are your primary research interests?

My research interest interest lies in cancer epidemiology!

What were you up this this past summer?

I spent this past summer continuing my cancer research from undergrad while studying for the MCAT. I then spent my last couple weeks exploring Italy!

Are there any exciting projects or experiences you are involved in right now?

I began my research at Rollins with Dr Lash this past November, and I’m excited to continue working with him!

What is your favorite part about earning your MPH at Rollins?

I am loving the opportunity to meet such a diverse cohort of new people at Emory. That, combined with being in the great city of Atlanta, has made for a great first term!

What advice do you have for people who may be interested in getting their MPH?

I would advise them to explore how they best can advance their future career interests during their time outside of the classroom. I have found that there is ample time to take advantage extracurricular activities, especially if youโ€™re at Emory and have all of Atlanta at your fingertips.

What books are you currently reading, or what podcasts are you currently listening to?

I am passionate about sports, politics and news, so three podcasts I listen to are Pardon my Take, Pod Save America, and The Daily

What are three fun facts that you want people to know about you?

  1. I have a very cute Labradoodle named Charlie
  2. I’ve lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan my entire life.
  3. I love to play tennis!
