Why I chose Pitt

I chose Pitt because of the very strong MVM program with many well-known faculty members.

Currently, Dr. Kuhrt is a Research Fellow at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute in Scarborough, Maine. He studies erythropoietin mediated red blood cell progenitor differentiation in the context of anemic stress.
