Kyle Messier Email & Phone Number

Over the past 5 years, I have gained experience in numerous workplaces ranging from biological and virological laboratories to clinical work in anthropological studies. Though benchwork and experience gained at UNC, I have obtained proficiency in modern analytical methods such as Column chromatography, spectrophotometry, Affinity chromatography, and several more. These past years have taught me how to work with not only a variety of coworkers, but also people within the community and in medical environments, where the utmost integrity is required to conduct myself with prestige and care. I am looking for opportunities in both the chemical and medical fields which would enable me to beneficially impact those around me and to provide me with the knowledge and experiences needed to progress further in my career path.
