Hunter Clark

Hunter grew up in Ottawa and did his Bachelors of Science in Chemistry at Carleton University.  His 4th year honours thesis was in organic chemistry under Jeff Manthorpe studying the kinetics of diazomethane generation and alkylation of various diazald precursors. He is currently doing his masters working on the biofilm project. The goal of his research is to increase the cellular uptake of 1-phosphate sugars using acyl-phosphate derivatives that will cleave spontaneously within the cytoplasm to give the 1-phosphate sugar. In his spare time he enjoys playing sports and spending time outdoors to explore what the world has to offer.
