    Kennesaw State biochemistry student unlocks passion for research through First-Year Scholars program

    February 14, 2025

    It didn’t take long for Kennesaw State University student Lilianna Kocai to discover a passion for research. All it took was a little nudge from assistant professor Carl Saint-Louis. As a freshman in 2023, Kocai took a course called Culture of Science and Mathematics, designed by Saint-Louis to open young eyes to research at an early stage in their college careers. “Before I came to KSU, I didn’t really plan on doing research,” said Kocai, now a sophomore biochemistry major. “I came in touch with research because of Dr. Saint-Louis, who pitched the First-Year Scholars program as a way for students to get their start. I got involved and ended up in his lab, so it all worked out.”
