Born and raised in Dallas, Phillip studied both biology and and English literature at Truman State University in Missouri. After graduating in 2018, he worked first as a lab assistant for eFFECTOR Therapeutics in San Diego and then as a freelance editor and technical writer. Phillip joined the Reese lab as our lab manager in June 2020. We are pretty sure he smiles, but we can’t be positive since we are all wearing masks all the time! Outside of work, he enjoys birdwatching, running, and writing.
