About Christine Nervig: I received my Bachelors of Arts in Chemistry from St. Olaf College in 2014. After spending the first part of my graduate studies in the chemistry department studying organic methodology, I joined the Owen lab where I could apply my synthetic skills to my interest in the development of novel therapeutic platforms. I fill my free time with outdoor adventures, most often backpacking, biking, and trail running.
