Matthew graduated with highest distinction from UNC-Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, having conducted undergraduate research in protein engineering and biocatalysis under the mentorship of Dr. Eric Brustad. Now in Dr. Loren Walensky’s lab at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Matthew is focused on understanding how modifications to proteins that regulate cell death can promote cancer cell proliferation. Outside of lab, Matthew also serves as a mentor for Harvard’s Health Professions Recruitment & Exposure Program, a summer enrichment program for Boston-area high school students.
