Nick Geraci

Biology ‘02

Since graduating from Mount St. Joseph University, Nick has navigated a winding road through academia and industry across seven states before finding his place at the intersection of bioinformatics, immunology, and neuroscience. Along the way, he earned an MS in Entomology (Purdue University) and a PhD in Biological Sciences (University of Notre Dame) focused on tropical infectious diseases. Now working remotely and settled in a quiet village in the White Mountains of New England (where even Delhi feels like a metropolis!), he's built an accomplished career using big data to answer questions at the molecular level, and helping turn complex biological puzzles into real-world medical breakthroughs.
