Quinn A. Bumpers


Quinn Bumpers was raised along the waters of Cocoa Beach, Florida, where he left to complete a B.S. in Chemistry at the University of Central Florida. Before he arrived at graduate school, Quinn worked in industry at a small pharmaceutical company. Since beginning his career at Vanderbilt in the Fall of 2015, Quinn still actively looks for bodies of water in the summer and a nicely heated lab in the winter. His current research involves the total synthesis of a marine alkaloid with an isoquinuclidine core, and yes the entire lab is onto him.
