Sachleen Kaur Tuteja

STEM Scholarship Recipient, 2025

Sachleen Kaur Tuteja, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, a native of Long Grove, IL, is majoring in Statistics, Economics and Data Science. She believes that to maximize the results of innovation, especially in the health care area, it must be based on well-designed and well-executed data. She sees data not as figures, but as representing real people with real problems.

As a result of a research project on colorectal cancer she designed and executed in the laboratory of Feinberg Professor Theresa Walunas, she was invited to make a Presentation at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual meeting, “a rare accomplishment for an undergraduate” according to Professor Walunas. Sachleen states, “I want to be part of a generation of builders who design with care, connection, and community in mind.”
