Originally from Lorain, Ohio, Will got his B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio. He got involved in undergraduate research very early on in his undergraduate career, and this eventually led him to pursue his Ph.D. at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is now a 5th year Ph.D. candidate working on characterizing a novel protein in lipid metabolism in the fungal pathogen, Candida albicans. He is hoping to apply for postdocs as well as industry positions after his time in graduate school.
