CBC Student Spotlight: Gwen McKay

"Hi, my name is Gwen! I’m a junior and a chemistry major at UA. As a MARC Program student, I have been participating in pharmacological research under Dr. Catherine Smith, focusing on gene expression and regulation through signaling pathways. After my undergrad, I plan to pursue a PhD in organic chemistry, with a pharmacology focus.

As a CBC Peer Mentor, I'm excited to engage with new Wildcats who share my passion for science!  In my free time, I like to hike, read, draw, and participate in UA’s Chemistry Club.  A quote that I love is “You are a story worth sharing."
