Biography
Robert Seaman received a Bachelor of Science in Biology from a small college called Canisius College in his hometown of Buffalo, New York in 2015. He was very involved in his undergraduate institution and founded a club whose aim was to bridge the gap between undergraduate and graduate school. Additionally, he served on the student senate among many other organizations. He then received a Master of Science in Pharmacology and Toxicology from The University at Buffalo in 2017. Following completion of his master’s degree, he moved to San Antonio and is currently a student in the Integrated Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. program where he is working for Dr. Gregory Collins studying behavioral pharmacology in the context of addiction.
