Erick Fenk

My name is Erick Fenk, I obtained my B.S. in Biological Science and M.S. in Biomedical Science at Florida Atlantic University, in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Following Shortly after graduation, I joined Dr. Zhigao Wang’s lab as a research technician studying PPP1R3G in mouse models of ischemia-induced cardiac injury and developing peptidomimetic inhibitors of PPP1R3G/PP1γ to inhibit RIPK1 activation in vitro and in vivo. I am currently in the fall 2025 medical school application cycle and hope to matriculate next fall and start my medical education. Until then I will continue to work under the guidance of Dr. Zhigao Wang.
