Jace Gentry

TITLE: Undergraduate Student
EMAIL: jdgentry6@nullg.ucla.edu

Biograph

My name is Jace Gentry, a senior at UCLA. I’m majoring in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics, with a minor in Biomedical Research. I am deeply passionate about the intricacies of the human body and my academic pursuits reflect this interest. Outside the classroom, I’ve honed my practical skills as a phlebotomist, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in the medical field. Balancing the scientific and the artistic, I also play the bass in my spare time, a hobby that provides a counterpoint to my scientific pursuits. Looking ahead, I aspire to apply my passion and skills in the medical field, with my sights set on medical school. My ultimate goal is to specialize in Cardiothoracic or Orthopedic Surgery, where I can make a significant difference in patients’ lives.
