Claire Magill

University of Pittsburgh

Claire interned with the Clinic in the summer of 2023, in between her junior and senior years at Juniata College. At Juniata, she studied biology with a minor in psychology. Her internship interest at the Clinic perfectly aligned with her roots of growing up in Lancaster County and her aspirations to become a genetic counselor.

“During my time at CSC, I contributed to the Clinic’s Bone Marrow Registry and conducted research on silent carrier status for Spinal Muscular Atrophy. I also had the incredible opportunity to shadow the genetic counselors. My time as a student at CSC deepened my understanding of the field of genetics and highlighted the critical role of translational research in advancing healthcare.

Now, I am thrilled to be pursuing my masters in genetic counseling at the University of Pittsburgh, where I continue to build on the foundation of knowledge and passion I developed at CSC!”
