Justin Farmer

Justin Farmer, is a second-year masters student in the Department of Epidemiology at Chan. He earned a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience and comparative literature from Northwestern in 2017 (Go ‘Cats!). Justin ultimately hopes to conduct research that helps answer the questions: who develops dementia in the US?, and why? In the Weisskopf Lab, he is currently analyzing the metal content of teeth as part of the Metal Exposures and Alzheimer’s Disease (MEAD) study. When he isn’t working on MEAD or in classes, Justin can be found listening to music, reading, or trying to convince himself to go on a run.
