Meet Roodolph St. Pierre

From Haiti! Meet Roodolph St. Pierre! He was born and raised in Haiti. He immigrated to the U.S. back in 2005, completed high school in Boston in 2006 and earned the Valedictorian mantle of his year. He graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry with honors from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2011. From there, Roodolph worked as a research technician at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Dr. James Bradner’s lab. He is currently a graduate student in the Chemical Biology Program at Harvard University finishing his doctorate studies under Dr. Cigall Kadoch.

During his graduate studies, He has received a number of Fellowships and Grants that have propelled and sustained his academic growth as a scholar. He is particularly proud of the Landry Cancer Biology Fellowship and the Individual Predoctoral F31 Fellowship, which are immensely competitive for graduate students.

Beyond the academic world, He has served countless outreach causes to help underrepresented students enter and thrive in the STEAM pipeline. He has served on the 2017 Harvard Presidential Search Advisory Committee. Beyond the Ph.D., Roodolph plans to secure a Postdoctoral position in Cancer Drug Discovery with the ultimate goal of running a laboratory that thrives at the intersection of basic chromatin biology and cancer drug discovery.
