Daniel Andrade

"Winning the scholarship is a great achievement for me. It will be a great opportunity for improving my education in the field of infectious disease epidemiology. Now, I can afford the most recent textbooks about the field that are not available in my country. I'm really grateful to LabRoots for the opportunity."
