Anabel Moore (BR ‘25) is a pre-med student with plans to pursue a career as a physician-writer and interest in cardiothoracic surgery. She is double-majoring in molecular biophysics and biochemistry (concentration: medicine) and the history of art. A Jamaican-American dual citizen, Anabel grew passionate about global health following exposure to underserved populations in Jamaica, where her family has lived for more than 300 years. Her interests in global health spring from her desire to develop stronger health infrastructure in Jamaica and other similarly underserved communities in the Caribbean.
Anabel studied public health and thoracic surgery at the Université Côte d’Azur (Nice) in the summer of 2022. She has experience in lung cancer research at the Yale School of Medicine and a strong interest in small molecule drug design. Her interest in art history lies in the pre- and post-Enlightenment development of the visual epistemology of medicine, particularly in Europe. She is a former Nancy Horton Bartels Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art, contributing to the spring 2025 J.M.W. Turner: Romance and Reality exhibition, a staff writer and former editor for the Yale Daily News, former director of STEM and Health Equity Advocates at Yale (SHEA) and former co-editor-in-chief of Asterisk: The Yale Undergraduate Journal of Art and Art History. Most recently, Anabel taught both organic chemistry and art history to high school students from more than 150 countries for the Yale Young Global Scholars program. She has also represented both Yale and Jamaica in soccer at the varsity and international levels, respectively.
When she is not reading or researching, she can be found running around New Haven with Yale Club Running, playing squash with Yale Club Squash, or enjoying time with friends at the Yale University Art Gallery.
