Hello! My name is Mason Neal and I am currently a second-year student in the Masters of Microbial Biotechnology program at North Carolina State University. I have a strong interest in biotechnology, more specifically biomanufacturing of medicines and recombinent proteins. Within this program, I am focusing on courses that are related to biomanufacturing to gain more knowledge about pharmaceuticals and biomedicine. In the future, I would like to work for a biotechnology company related to one of these two sectors.
