Matt Hibberd

BS ‘07

“I changed majors from Chemical Engineering to Biochemistry in my sophomore year and completed UCARE research in Dr. Don Weeks’s lab. That real-world experience helped me get a job after graduation in the biotech industry. I loved my upper level biochemistry classes because that’s where everything came together. Currently, I study the point of interaction between microbial and human metabolism in the intestinal tract at Washington University in St. Louis for my PhD. All of my time at Nebraska helped me get to this point and I’m so thankful.”
