This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating a BCM love story! ❤️

The romantic journey of Dr. Lynn Zechiedrich and Dr. Martin Matzuk started with a chance introduction through a mutual mentor. Though their academic paths never crossed, they kept running into each other in the halls of BCM—chatting, connecting, and eventually falling in love. Over the years, they’ve supported each other’s careers and helped build an incredible community here at BCM.

Proof that science, friendship, and a little serendipity can lead to something amazing!
