Ryan Pantel

I’m a junior studying Biochemistry and Spanish with aspirations of becoming a pediatrician. I’m originally from Chandler, Arizona, but I’ve always been drawn to the ocean and marine life! 
I’m especially interested in the medically relevant aspects of the Roger Lab’s research, including its extensions into organoid research, developmental biology, and regenerative medicine. It’s fascinating to see how these fields overlap with the wildlife we study. I’m very excited to continue my contributions to the research that uniquely combines my interests!

I joined the team as a volunteer in Spring 2026.
