Franco Faucher

I come from the beautiful view also known as Chula Vista, California. I graduated from the University of California Berkeley with a B.S. in Chemistry and a minor in Biological Engineering in 2019. At Berkeley, I worked under the guidance of Dr. Gabor Somorjai working in the field of surface science. I also spent time researching in the Vision Science Program studying lipid circuits and immune response with Dr. Karsten Gronert. While at UC Berkeley, I completed a summer internship at Genentech. In the Bogyo lab, I am interested in developing covalent cyclic peptide inhibitors for future use as therapeutics, imaging agents, and biological tools.
