Summary
My name is Frank. I am a 4th-year Bachelors of Sciences candidate at Brock University. I was always interested in research, and I began working in wet labs since grade 11. I have been awarded with three grants to fund my research, and I presented my work at the 2019 Summer Student Research Symposium, as well as at the 2019 Oncology Research Day. I developed a passion for dentistry in my undergrad through the MedPlus program. A passionate dentist presenter shared his journey with us and inspired me deeply. To work towards my dream job, I maintained high grades, engaged in a variety of extracurricular activities, and shadowed many dentists.
