Still only in his 20s, Gary Cantor, Durham researcher is now a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate who wants to help move medical science forward for a long time. At his age, one would think he was just getting started, but he’s been interested in medical research for some time. He always wanted a career in medicine, but at the age of 13 he came upon a YouTube video of Dr. Aubrey de Grey, a biomedical gerontologist who believed that medical research could make humans live for 1,000 years.
Gary Cantor corresponded with Dr. DeGrey for a while and decided that the field of medical research was where he should be. He was still a teen when he began working as a medical researcher at the University of Florida. After completing his studies at Florida, Cantor was accepted into the Biological and Biomedical Sciences Program (BBSP) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which is why, for Gary Cantor, Durham is how home. It’s right down the road and where he wants to be. Comments are closed.
