Gilbert Saint Jean

GLOBES IGERT
University of Notre Dame
Notre Dame, IN



Gilbert graduated from Florida International University (FIU) located in Miami, Florida, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. He is a first generation US national. His parents and the majority of his family are from Haiti. He lived in Haiti for a year (1991-1992) and has tried to keep in touch with his ancestral roots. His interest in the GLOBES program stems from the cross-disciplinary, multi-pronged approach of using natural sciences along with social sciences to solve some of the delicate and often times interrelated problems of the world. Gilbert looks forward to fulfilling the potential of the program. Most of his research work in molecular biology/genetics was done at FIU, and at the University of Notre Dame during the summer of 2005 as a Ronald McNair Post Baccalaureate Scholar. He also had the opportunity to be an adjunct professor and taught undergraduate biology lab courses this past semester at FIU. “Enough of tooting my own horn for the moment, let’s get to work,” said Gilbert of pursuing his PhD through the GLOBES program.
