Derick D. Jones, Jr. is a National Institutes of Health T32 fellow and works under the mentorship of Dr. Nadja Cech, coming to UNC Greensboro with a MS degree in Analytical Chemistry from North Carolina A&T State University. Passionate about promoting science education, Derick plays a critical role in the T32 program, both as a scientific mentor of undergraduates and junior graduate students and as an organizer of community outreach events and activities. His research involves using metabolomics as a tool to understand virulence regulation in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). He has developed a new analytical method that enables simultaneous tracking of growth and virulence with this pathogen.
Derick loves fashion (you will catch him in front of a camera during his free time). He also enjoys singing and writing music. Derick’s favorite word is AMAZING!
