The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation is working with Langston University to change the complexion of science.
Yamiah Mitchell is a rising senior at Langston University and one of six students to be part of the inaugural class of Langston Biomedical Research Scholars.
“At Langston, we don t have a lot of opportunities to do hands on research, so I did research and the time it takes and the different routes you have to take to get some answers,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell said this two month program helped her prepare for a career after college where she plans to study an autoimmune disease that hits close to home.

The Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to spread, and health experts say the new variant is more transmissible. With the new school year starting next month, at least one Oklahoma doctor is worried.

With school just around the corner, Schofield said the number of those infected could dramatically increase.
