ABE-LA Alum Shares His Journey

Edward Oropeza’s journey into biotechnology began when he participated in the Amgen Biotech Experience as a student at Fullerton High School. Having enjoyed the ABE program, he decided to volunteer at Saturday Workday, an internship program hosted at Fullerton College where students learn how to prepare reagents like agar plates, and sterile aliquots for high schools participating in ABE. Edward then earned two biotech certificates from Fullerton College and transferred to UC Irvine where he is pursuing a biochemistry and molecular biology degree.
