Shane Carey, BS
I'm from Walterboro, South Carolina and obtained my BS in Biology at the University of South Carolina - Beaufort (USCB) in 2022. It was at USCB that I worked under Dr. Edward D'Antonio in his early-stage drug discovery lab for neglected tropical diseases such as Chagas' disease and African sleeping sickness for ~3 years. Right after that I joined the IGP program at Vanderbilt and eventually MPI, working in Dr. Keith Wilson's lab.
Currently, I am focused on studying the mechanisms involved in colorectal cancer and IBD and using that information to potentially develop novel therapies to treat these diseases.

I study inflammatory bowel disease and the underlining mechanisms that play a role in disease severity. Outside of lab, I enjoy going to the gym. It's a great way to not only stay in good health, but also helps you clear your mind and destress.
