Arthur has recently completed an undergraduate Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry at McMaster University. He is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Biochemistry under the supervision of Dr. Gerry Wright, where he is compiling a cell-based research platform that can be used to de-replicate known antibiotic classes from bioactive extracts and screen for antibiotic adjuvants.
