Max Belasco
President
4th Year
Major(s): Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics

Fascinated with both the biology and social implications of disease, Max is hoping to pursue a career either in public health or bioethics. This means he will most likely work in academia, which is rather fitting for a student who gets mistaken for a TA on a near daily basis (why this happens Max does not really know, but he suspects it might be his messenger bag). Outside of classwork Max researches cancer metabolism at the UCLA Institute of Molecular Medicine and genetic sociology at Center for Society and Genetics. This year, he will be pursuing his own work as an undergraduate researcher.

There are few things in life that Max enjoys more than coffee, puns, secondhand bookstores and most importantly hanging out with ASC. He is extremely excited for the awesome events, programs and shenanigans that will inevitably ensue when Alumni Scholars are around. When he is not working in the lab or hanging around the James West Alumni Center, Max enjoys concerts, catching up on the New Yorker and cooking. Rumor has it that he can make a mean baklava.
