Paul Andega is an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Biochemistry with a minor in Social and Behavioural Sciences. At UT Paul regularly volunteers with the Lions Club organization, an international humanitarian society providing service to local communities, and is a member of the National Society of Black Engineers. He’s also explored interests in a number of other clubs and organizations including UT Tae Kwon Do and Jiu Jitsu, French Learning Circle, and BSA. In academia, Paul is an avid researcher, currently working on a synthetic biology project as part of the UT’s iGEM team and with prior experience as a research assistant studying DNA transcription while at The University of Texas at Arlington. He also has previously worked as a Learning Assistant tutoring chemistry at UT and enjoys teaching his knowledge as much as he loves learning himself.
Paul’s long-term goal is to pursue a career in biomedical research after obtaining his BS in Biochemistry and PhD in Genetics. He hopes to make a lasting impact with his research in the future that will aid in the advancement of medical therapies. Despite his ambitions, he still enjoys taking the time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures like eating giant bowls of ice cream and cookies after exams or binging shows and movies he’s already seen 100+ times. Some of his other past times including calisthenics, reading, bass, and praying a million dollars will drop in front of him someday.
