Joel Montalvo Jr., Research Associate
Joel completed his undergraduate studies at UC Davis in 2020, earning a B.S. degree in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior, commonly referred to as NPB. Currently, he is immersed in a Master's program at Tufts University, focusing on Computer Science and working toward his M.S. degree. With a strong aspiration to excel in both fields, Joel's career path is set on becoming a Bioinformatician or Software Engineer.
Having spent around two years in the biotech sector, his fascination with Bioinformatics has steadily grown. Contemplating a prospective journey in Software Integration Engineering, Joel envisions himself as a vital bridge between the scientific domain and software development.
Joel's strategic approach involves progressively deepening his understanding of the biological aspects. This foundation will empower him to seamlessly communicate with both fellow scientists and software engineers. His overarching objective is to play a pivotal role in harmonizing these two dynamic industries.
