Alyssa Castle

Alyssa is a PhD student in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology department. I received my bachelor’s degree at Utica College, with a major in biology and chemistry and my master’s degree at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in biochemistry and molecular biology. As a student that has been through a variety of academic settings, she believes it is important for students to be aware of the different funding opportunities that are available so that they can be taken advantage of. Within the Office of Research Development, Alyssa supports the Graduate Teaching Exchange Program; where UMaine graduate students have the opportunity to be placed at other UMS campuses.
