A St Joseph’s Alumni Story
It’s always great to hear where our past students end up. Recently, I heard about the success of one of my past chemistry students, Tom Paterson (Class of 2017).
Tom was a curious and thoughtful student, with a passion for science. Since graduating, Tom has followed his passion and is now working as a scientist at Deakin University.
Recently, he had a paper published in the research journal Biology. This paper investigates the impact of a common preservative, Benzalkonium Chloride, on the cells in the cornea. I have attached the article for your enjoyment.
