From beekeeping to biochemistry, ASU grad finds path to medicine (opens in new tab)

On Friday mornings, Brandon Ho puts on a beekeeper suit and tends to a hive in the middle of Arizona State University’s Tempe campus. It’s not what you’d expect from a pre-med student. But for Ho, a spring 2026 graduating biochemistry senior in ASU’s School of Molecular Sciences, it makes perfect sense.Other days start even earlier at 2 a.m., when he heads to his job at a clinic before a full day of classes.
