Matthew Jenkins
Graduate Student, Ferrell Laboratory
BS, Lee University (2016)
I grew up in Soddy-Daisy, TN and attended Lee University, where I graduated with a degree in Health Science and conducted clinical research on NCAA Division II athletes. After graduation, I spent a year working for Colleen Niswender in the Vanderbilt (now Warren) Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery. I completed my IGP year in 2019 and joined the Ferrell lab, where I am studying the role of the DNA demethylase Tet2 in inflammation and myeloid malignancy.
