Alec is originally from Vermont and stayed in the northeast while completing his undergraduate studies at Dartmouth College. He graduated in 2019 with a B.S in Biology concentrated in human biology. While at Dartmouth he also performed research and was a member of the Varsity Track and Field team running the hurdles. His undergraduate research focused on molecular docking and the applications of computational analyses to model interactions between small molecules and proteins that could be ideal targets for novel drugs. After graduating he moved on to be a Research Assistant in the Media and Health Behaviors Lab at Dartmouth where he investigated how children’s eating habits are affected by the media and food advertising they are exposed to. In his free time, he enjoys the outdoors by running, biking, reading a good book in a hammock, and playing basketball.
