HELLO, I'M

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 with Dr. Stephen Hanessian, OC, FRSC at the Université de Montréal this summer on producing beta-turns to inhibit proteins in order to regulate bodily nox productions.

​

If I'm not at school, chances are, you'll find me drinking bubble tea or stopping pucks at the arena.
