Student Spotlight Garrett Gregoire 2019, Molecular Biology

Garrett Gregoire matter-of-factly points out that his student-faculty research project won’t cure cancer. Perhaps not, but his work does make a real contribution. And it helped make him a competitive applicant for graduate school. Garrett is currently attending the Biomedical Sciences graduate program at the University of Virginia, pursuing his Ph.D.
