Research Technician
Spencer joined the Reitman Lab in the summer of 2023. Prior to joining the lab, he worked at Locus Biosciences as a research technician intern and as a CNA at Duke Regional Hospital. He graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2021 with a B.S. in both biochemistry and neuroscience. Spencer has had a long-standing interest in brain cancer, motivated in large part by his previous experiences with researcher Dr. Shawn Hingtgen and neuro-oncologist Dr. Simon Khagi. In the future, he plans to attend medical school and continue doing brain tumor research to help improve patient lives at the bench and bedside. Outside of work, Spencer loves to cook, spend time with his family, and cheer on Penn State football and UNC basketball.
