Grant GianGrasso

MSc Genomic Medicine, 2024

My name is Grant, and I’m an incoming MSc Genomic Medicine student from the United States.

I grew up near Niagara Falls, New York. After finishing my bachelor’s degree in Human Biology and French at the University of Virginia, I earned a Master of Public Health degree there. My research focused on the genetic determinants of susceptibility to neglected tropical diseases, especially among young children with cryptosporidiosis in Bangladesh.

When I’m not studying, you can find me playing jazz trumpet, working on a stand-up comedy routine, or practicing a foreign language. I can’t wait to meet everyone at GTC this year!
