A biochemist who earned his bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s and PhD in biochemistry \u2014 all at Pacific, credits the university for preparing him for his next step: a postdoctoral research fellowship at one of the leading cancer research centers in the world, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew Parkins, who earned his doctorate in biochemistry<\/a> in May, will focus on molecular immunology. He says Pacific helped him develop a solid research foundation as well as his love of science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Pacific, I learned new things, taught myself, learned from others, and delved into unknown territories,\u201d Andrew said. \u201cThis is where my love for science truly blossomed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis opportunity highlights that we are capable of producing Harvard-level research at the University of the Pacific, and it\u2019s gratifying to see that recognized.”<\/p>Andrew Parkins<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


Pacific\u2019s small classes; hands-on learning opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Andrew grew up in Lodi and says he chose Pacific because of its outstanding academic reputation and dedication to the community. Throughout his time here, he came to recognize the benefit of Pacific\u2019s smaller classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[They] allow you to stand out by being curious, asking good questions and wanting to learn more,\u201d Andrew said. \u201cThis personalized attention is what got me into research as an undergraduate, which eventually led to my graduate studies here. It is what really kept me on track.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew took advantage of Pacific\u2019s myriad hands-on learning experiences throughout his undergraduate years. He joined research labs and participated in the Stauffer Fellowship<\/a>, which allowed him to finish his undergraduate work a semester early. At the end of that fellowship, Andrew started to work with Professor Georgios Pantouris<\/a>, who specializes in protein and cancer research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a graduate student, Andrew worked in the lab specifically with proteins related to inflammatory diseases and cancer. One of the most important tools he and Pantouris used was the active programmable logic controller, which allowed them to select proteins. They also relied on plate readers and two computers for every project\u2014what they refer to as the \u201cbig three essential tools.\u201d Additionally, they had the unique opportunity to produce protein crystals and collect data on them at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research alongside chemistry professors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Andrew\u2019s experience in Pantouris\u2019 lab was not only one of mentorship but also friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProfessor George P. has always been there for me, fostering a relationship that feels more like having a big brother than just a mentor,\u201d Andrew said. \u201cHis advice, whether on a personal level or regarding an experiment, has always been invaluable. George has truly been there for me, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a postdoctoral research fellow at Dana-Farber, a cancer research institute associated with Harvard Medical School, Andrew will focus on molecular immunology. While he does not have extensive experience in the field, Andrew believes the research background he gained at Pacific \u2014 with mentors like Pantouris \u2014 has helped him create a solid foundation for the techniques necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis opportunity highlights that we are capable of producing Harvard-level research at the University of the Pacific, and it\u2019s gratifying to see that recognized,\u201d says Andrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew hopes to build on what he\u2019s learned at Pacific and Dana-Farber in the future. His love for research and continual work toward discovering new drugs for conditions previously considered untreatable have helped him discover his own goal\u2014to start his own lab.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
