ABOUT ME
Hey! I'm Myles
I am currently studying medicinal chemistry at the University of Waterloo. I'm passionate about pharmaceutical research and design as well as space medicine. I am currently working as a Laboratory Technician at Advanced Electrophoresis Solutions Ltd., helping test and research different protein separation cartridges.
If I'm not at school, chances are, you'll find me drinking bubble tea or stopping pucks at the arena.
