Gary Cantor strives for PhD at UNC

Gary Cantor
Gary Cantor was just a child when his dreams toward medical research were born. Now in his 20s, Coral Springs, Florida native Gary Cantor is a fourth year PhD candidate at the Durham, N.C. area University of North Carolina, studying to attain this goal.

Gary Cantor knew as just a young teenager, admiring his mentor Dr. Aubrey DeGrey, that he wanted to work within research. He was certain that he could make an impactful difference from a lab -- discovering ways to improve damaged DNA or other pieces of the human “code” toward living a healthful life. Now, he nears completion of his studies at UNC in its genetics and molecular department, growing closer and closer to working within the field full-time and making those dreams a reality.
