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 as part of my co-op work term helping synthesize a universal protein linkage molecule.
If I'm not at school, chances are, you'll find me drinking bubble tea or stopping pucks at the arena.
