The Merkel Cell Carcinoma Collaborative (MC3) Institute is delighted to welcome two new undergraduate research assistants this spring; Adhip Justhy and Rowan King.

Welcome to the MC3 Institute, Adhip & Rowan!

meet our research assistants 

Adhip Justhy (he/him)

justhyI plan to pursue undergraduate studies in Neuroscience and Biochemistry on the Pre-Medicine track. I am particularly interested in neurosurgery and oncology and share a great interest in patient-centric care and healthcare management. The experiences I gain as an undergraduate will equip me for a strong future in healthcare where I can implement positive change and provide the best possible care for our patients. 

In my free time, I love to watch/play sports (particularly soccer and tennis), produce music, and watch movies. I also enjoy spending time at coffee shops, exploring new cultures, and learning new languages! 


Rowan King (any/all pronouns)

kingI am a first-year student from Washington, DC. I am studying Applied Mathematics on a Pre-Medicine track. My background is in public health, specifically sexual health and sexually transmitted diseases. I plan to become a physician and am excited to build a foundation in dermatology and cancer research.

I love weightlifting and hiking in my free time, and I like reading any genre I can get. I also love the performing arts; I currently work part-time as an usher at the UW Meany Performing Arts Center.
