After a diverse set of research experiences at GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, University of Tsukuba (J. Ichikawa), and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (J. Khusnutdinova), Tanner Jankins begins graduate school at TSRI in the Engle lab. A graduate of Northeastern University, Tanner wasted no time jumping into the lab to begin preparing new ligand scaffolds, while still finding time to hit the beach for some surfing.
