Troy comes to the Florida from North Carolina where he earned his B.S. in Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2020. While at UNC, he conducted research improving tendon healing through desferrioxamine coated sutures under Dr. Paul Weinhold. After college, he was an Associate Scientist at Tergus Pharma for a year under the In Vitro Release Testing Department developing methods for IVRT analysis of topical pharmaceutical products. Troy joined the Prentice lab in the fall of 2021 working on novel mass spectrometry instrumentation and imaging mass spectrometry of biological samples.
