Malachi was a student in two of my classes: Molecular Biology of Disease and Molecular Genetics lab. He excelled in both courses, earning an A in each. He was also an undergraduate research student in my lab for both semesters of his senior year. I was so impressed with his work that I invited him to earn his Master's Degree in my lab. I respect his work ethic and integrity.
